I hope we start seeing more open source utilities from VMware in the near future.

The book covers the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) and offers a very simple yet powerful set of instructions for managing your CUPS environment.

The book is written well, its easy to understand and generally flows very well. The author did a great job explaining how to compile and install CUPS, configure CUPS, check printer status and configuring user access. These are just a few tidbits of information the book touches on.

If you are working with or plan to work with CUPS in the future I highly suggest checking this book out.

I’ve attached a sample of Chapter 4 with permission of the publisher so you can get an idea of how well the book is laid out.
