Sounds like a plan for me.  I'm using xpdq, and it's OK, but...

I'm getting tired of printing to file from OpenOffice, and other
applications (e.g. my Mac laptop), and then hauling out xpdq to
actually print.

Has anyone on the list had any experience with a Canon (4000) and
either CUPS or lprng?  I gave up on the former, because it wouldn't do
what it said it was doing, and I couldn't figure out how to set up the
latter.

Thanks

Cam
