Since last year (at least), SuSE 9.3's YaST suggests a PPD file. I tried it with a networked printer and a USB printer and in both cases the suggested PPD was the right one. What happens when the printer is out on the market since last Monday ? I don't know.

It's important to choose a 'good enough' distro to show Linux to people. As developers and technicians were hear buzzwords flying. Like 'Ubuntu' and 'Kubuntu' for instance.

- Did you get your NTP client working ?

- Just Excellent ! I just had to create this config file and bootscript...

This of course is not good (and certainly not factual regarding 'K/Ubuntu) since I haven"t tried it).

A good way to make people stick with Windows ? Introduce them to Linux using Slackware.

I think a highly configurable-user-firendly updated distro should be used for this purpose, which is not necessarily the latest developer's buzzwords.
