Hi all

For me printing is one area of rock that has always been a pain in the 
ass.  Maybe I just don't know how to do it, don't know.

In any event it seemed to me that the logical place to configure 
printing from was stone.  As I recall there used to be something there 
that did not work, but as of the latest 2.0.3 build that I did some time 
ago, there is nothing.

My understanding of setting up printing is weak, but I wrote the 
attached script to go in /etc/stone.d/ called mod_printing.sh.

It works for setting up cups, and may work for setting up lprng, see 
comments in script.  Someone else can surely do better, I only offer 
this up because no one else has.

Possibly there is something better in the current trunk that I don't 
know about?

Make it a great day
