Possibly, however if you are going to use cups, cups I expect will need 
ghostscript too as that is the rendering engine for all these print 
managers AFAIK.  enscript may also be a seperate package & you'll need 
something similar to that.  It makes postscript out of text files.

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
