I'm using Red Hat 7.3 and KDE with a Epson C80 printer
When I print I get a gui window on the screen and one of the sections called print systems asks me if I want to use one of the following;
CUPS Print through an external program (generic) Generic UNIX LPD print system (default) LPR/LPRng Print System RLPR environment (Remote LPD server)
What are all these things? Is there a preferred one? Where can I read up on "Linux Print Systems"?
I certainly prefer cups, since it seems the easiest to setup, and the most flexible for using the printer features, and kde has a very nice interface to it. Of course which one to pick depends onwhich printer server you are using and how you configured it.
