Hadn't thought of that. : "lisi@Eros:~$ aptitude show CUPS Package: cups State: installed Automatically installed: yes [snip] Maintainer: Debian Printing Team <debian-printing@lists.debian.org> [snip] *****Description: Common UNIX Printing System(tm)***** - PPD/driver support, web interface ***** The Common UNIX Printing System***** (or CUPS(tm)) is a printing system etc." The stars are mine.
