[Sheflug] CUPS

[wulfie <nospam [at] wulfric7.co.uk>]

I've just been playing with CUPS (with the gimp-print drivers) from the
LFX issue 10 cover CD. I installed from source onto a virgin SuSE 7.0
system & had it all running in about 15 mins, including a "just in
case" reboot. One security note - the control web server is exposed on
port 631 (privelaged, so needs root access - at least in theory) and CUPS
itself is IPP (internet printing) capable, so make sure you set your
firewall phasers to "kill" before putting this on a web-facing system.

For the curious my mini-review is on 
http://www.spirelug.org.uk/feature.html

Have fun, happy new year to everyone :))
