Automatic Installation of CUPS

[Jeffrey D. Yuille]

Dear Sirs, 

     I believe that in the next iteration of Fedora Core (Fedora Core 4), 
there should be an automatic installation of a CUPS server where it 
automatically installs the printer that is attached to the machine as well as 
allows any other machine on a LAN to print to it.  This is the case with 
Mandrake Linux as well as some other distributions of Linux.

For your information, 

     This was not meant to be a joke.  I have had trouble with getting 
machines on the local network to print on the print server.  I have installed 
print servers with other distributions of Linux without having this problem 
as I am having with Fedora Core.  If you spent more time trying to give good 
advice instead of making snide remarks, I would not have had to post this in 
the first place.

I believe some issues with print sharing are due to bad firewall rules,
as was the case with some SMB issues.  In any case, the CUPS server
should be installed by default already, and all you have to do after you
add the printer is run system-config-printer (Applications->System
Settings->Printing) and for your printer, right-click and choose
sharing, or use the Action menu and choose Sharing.

So every piece is there except autodetection and autoinstallation of the
printer you have connected, correct?
