In my puny laptop, CUPS takes 1 min to compile, the source code is 4.4 Mb and the installed binaries are 9.3 Mb. It seems to be updated at the rate of once a month, roughly. I have never configured CUPS, *ever*, and it always just works when I connect to a new network. The printers just appear in the print dialog, and it always works. It always remembers my last selected options. To me it seems a rather sane default to always require the most used printing system in an office suite. > Sounds like it's time to switch back to OOo. It would not surprise me that they will switch to mandatory CUPS in the future. It just happened before in LO because they develop new features faster, I believe.
