I have a brother laser Printer which I use via IPP from my network. It can hold a bunch of pages in RAM and Print them once the other (it can Print 3 in a row) are finished.
Now what does any propriatery printing service do?
They feed ONE PAGE AT A TIME, so my printer starts printing, then it starts cooling off, but then it has to HEAT UP AGAIN FOR FUCKS SAKE, and that every time.
Also if I just print via CUPS from my Linux machine, its like 5 times faster.
And I just don’t understand how my 15€ thin client from over 20 years ago can do more and better than my 1200€ iPad.
Just a reminder why I keep using Linux.
At least someone has had good experiences with CUPS lol. cupsd is usually the first thing I uninstall when I install Linux onto a PC since it never works.
Weird, CUPS used to be one of the few software that worked mostly flawlessly out of the box. It works pretty well for me
This has not been my experience … at … all.
Perhaps it would be helpful to discover what exactly doesn’t work for you and fix that, rather than remove CUPS because one time it didn’t work for you seven years ago.
