It annoys me greatly that, even though I only very rarely print to a LaserJet with a JetDirect card, I have to have a demon running all the time. I don't need to share the printer, it does that just fine by itself. It's also obnoxious and redundant that every machine on my LAN seems to insist on offering the *same* printer to every other machine no matter how much I try and tell it not to... (Is it possible to get a JetDirect card to do the CUPS browsing thing? Its one of the newer ones that do IPP natively, but as of the last time I flash upgraded it, it showed no sign of support for browsing...)
