Hi,
Modern (equals "easy") printer support would be nice...

Re: Printer support
Define easy
Most Open Source printer drivers are included in Slackware/Salix & easily installable through CUPS manager.

What really matters is where you are going, not where you come from.
Re: Printer support
Just do some research before buying a printer There are a lot of crap GDI printers out there, but nowadays you can get really cheap printers with PCL or even postscript support, too. Additional my color laser has LAN and it only was 129 €.
Re: Printer support
Perhaps the better question would be this: TorankK: What do you find difficult about printer configuration using the CUPS web interface? Give an example of an easier approach in another distro, something you like better. I've used all the popular distros and while some have their own tools I don't find any of them to be easier, just different.
