I would have thought you were the first that would applaud efforts to make 
cups more mainstream by making it a more core component that more parts 
depends on :)

Anyway, you are writing emails too fast. I want to do some hacking and 
enjoy my evening as well :)  Your mails all have the same tone of doom 
and helplessness. (which I entirely understand, btw)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this stuff has my and TTs 
attention.  Consider that I'm one of the largest backers of a printing 
system that will "just work". I mean, I have just spent 2 years off on my 
own time writing a word processor. Which is useless without proper 
printing. :-)  Consider my motivation here.

We have a roadmap, and the manpower to keep to it, which is better then 
you will have seen in years in kdeprint.
