Isn't CUPS an infrastructure service that exposes a bunch of APIs for downstream consumers, such as desktop environments, to build upon?
- zaarn 6y agoCUPS also provides a GUI-based printer configuration tool, which handles viewing your printers, their queues and setting up new printers. It looks not only old, it is old and not very user friendly. It also exposes it's admin interface on localhost with per-distro varying defaults on it's root password.

- zaarn 6y agoOn Archlinux only root can login by default last time I installed it. Heavily distro dependent and just weird that it requires a webinterface to configure.
