It wasn't CUPS in particular, but it was a few experiences like that which led
me to decide I'd rather just use Debian stable. At least with stable, once I
work the problems out of it I'm golden for a couple of years until I want some
new version of KDE or they get around to releasing another stable, and since
I've switched to ratpoison the only thing I'm missing by not having a new KDE
is Amarok, which would be nice, but not enough to suffer the pain of a new
distro upgrade.
