	Well, long story short...  I had been planning to install CUPS for a while because the stock lpr in OpenBSD apparently can't tell my printer to use the duplexer (and some other reasons).  I was putting it off because the documentation seemed deaper than I had time to dive into.  I was pleasantly surprised by getting it up and running with almost no effort or time, and everything seems to work great.  Also, it has all kinds of nifty features I didn't know about.  So, I am appreciating CUPS today.  The smily-computer-next-to-the-printer CUPS logo says it all.  That's my computer today.
