"It may seem a little daunting at first but I can say that the
process went smoothly and once I ironed out one small problem with
printing, everything seems to work very well. Of course, what good
are all of these tools if I don't have applications that I can
print from? Well, we'll be taking a look at using CUPS+Gimp-Print
with the BJC6000 under Kword and Kspread, both which are part of
Koffice from the KDE project and then we'll take a look at Lyx , a
more 'user-friendly' document processing system built on top of
LaTex and, hence TeX itself. We'll also take a brief look at using
Abiword with the CUPS system to see if we can produce printouts
from it. We'll try and conclude whether or not tools like the ones
mentioned in this introduction are good enough for someone to
typeset general documents such as letters, resumes and the like
without having to know anything about Linux in particular, no
mark-up languages or anything. I'll try and comment on the quality
of the output from the printer, as best I can.
"In addition, we'll examine CUPS post-installation to see what
type of user-interface is provided and what type of
documentation/help is provided. The reason I want to do this is
because those are particularly strong areas for CUPS, in my
opinion. With the same intent, I'd like to take a look at some
additional areas where I experienced unexpected difficulties and
how I managed to deal with those..."
