Three different pcs, each with a hp printer directly connected to
it via a usb cable using cups printing.

Note that cups has always been flakey for me. So I have not infrequently had
to reinstall the printer driver to get it working over the years.
I have used debian since 2002 or so. Before that redhat 7.3.


Cups has been the opposite for me: rock stable. Since I run Sid,
I'm of course constantly getting point upgrades, but as for
problems: nada.

My system is pretty different though: a Dell 3100cn network printer
that uses some Lexmark driver.


I've always found Cups a waste of time and space, I get better results,
without hassles, using lprng and magicfilter. This is on a number of
different printers - Kyocera, Samsung, Brother ...
