Printing, seemingly such a simple thing to do, has always been a complex task in a multi-platform multi-vendor environment like ours. There are local printers (accessible only on one computer), network printers (shared by dozens or hundreds of people in a building), network print queues, open-access printers, and semi-restricted printers.
Configuring your computer to talk correctly to nearby printers is often unintuitive. Consider, for example, the steps needed to print to a “job accounting”-enabled Toshiba printer from Mac OS X 10.5.
