Here's the scoop. When CUPS works, it works well; when it fails, it
continues to fail over many dot releases. CUPS is arguably the poorest
tested FOSS project I've yet encountered. They should be ashamed to
foist some of their crap on the unsuspecting.

OTOH, I haven't used LPRng in a long time, so I don't know whether
that software has kept up with the new devices.

YMMV,
