Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing in 3.5.2.2

Hi,

I've been running Linux (Ubuntu) for 3+ years with nothing but cups 
drivers. There have been about 8 different printers, some inkjet and 
some laser, some networked and some not networked. Cups is the only 
thing I've ever used. I've had very, very few issues. Basically almost none.
