<br>Ah yes, thanks for pointing it out for me! I hadn't given critical thought about avoiding the client-server cups setup. Case is its not even required, as the server will be having the printer (or if some other machine, I will just write code which configures it to the network printer on the server i mean) when received approve, a nice php script would print to the specified file on the server.<br>
We wont be requiring any drivers on the client just driver for one virtual cups-pdf! the dependencies and all come to max 1 mb. Just checked.<br><br><a href="http://sophie.zarb.org/srpm/Fedora,10,/cups-pdf/deps">http://sophie.zarb.org/srpm/Fedora,10,/cups-pdf/deps</a><br>

</div>Ah, ok, that does sound good and worthwhile, specially if you can<br>
avoid the client-server setup which you won't want, and the big<br>
footprint of all the cups drivers for a bazillion printers (perhaps<br>
that's well isolated in the foomatic packages already? i dunno).<br>
