Yet another praise post. I decided to make myself a little more miserable tonight (sometimes being single and lonely just doesn’t cut it), so I figured I’d try my hand at setting up remote printing with CUPS. Up until now, my idea of remote printing has been moving the printer from one box to another.

Anyway, from the time I started to the time I got it working was maybe ten minutes. All I did was pop open the cupsd config file, look at the Network settings, use the Gentoo Printing Guide as a reference, and I’m done. I think I had to edit like four lines of the config file. And they say linux is hard. Sure, if you don’t like reading.

So, I’m pretty stoked. CUPS rocks, and it has just refilled my faith in Linux and open source in general. I still don’t have a girlfriend, though. I think I’ll go eat a pan of brownies and cry in the dark while watching Lifetime.
