It is a slick utility. I set up four remote printer on HP 501x print
servers and shared
them to the network in less than three minutes. Much easier to use than
the web utility that
comes with cups. Everyone should have access to this utility, not just
Red Hat users.
(I had to use CUPS with the web admin on Friday: I nearly pulled my hair
out!)
Idea, approach Red Hat on making it part of the CUPS distribution.
Anything
that makes cups easier to use is a good thing. :-)
