The version of CUPS on SuSE >= 8.2 has a pretty complete implementation of
the standard SYSV printing commands which permits one to use normal printer
interface scripts for text printing without going through a lot of
graphical mumbo jumbo.  I like this because it's easy for me to implement
my old run-time printer conversions with all the normal ``lp'' options
rather than having to use the crude hack to get SYSV style options
implement with the BSDish lpr found on older Linux systems.
