Hi, Paul,
I'd love to see a step-by-step tutorial about what you set up for your friends
to be published on http://printing.kde.org/
Please share out your creativity for other people's benefit too.
Probably a tutorial like yours will spark many more ideas in other people's heads
what they could do with KDEPrint and Michael Goffiouls very versatile and flexible
architecture of it...
Thanks,
Kurt
