Alex Taylor has released a new preview version of eCups printer creation
wizard, version 0.95. This is a preview version of a graphical front-end for
creating CUPS-based printers under OS/2.

New this release:
- Hopefully fixed problem where the printer object just wouldn't be
created on some systems. (RINSTPRN just mysteriously refused to
install the driver in some circumstances. I've tried to circumvent
this by installing the driver myself, and only relying on RINSTPRN
for the device/queue and WPS object creation.)
- You can now run CUPSWIZ on a system where CUPS isn't installed
locally, as long as you have a CUPS server on the network. In
this case, CUPSWIZ doesn't attempt to talk to CUPS at all, it simply asks you
for a CUPS-based PPD for the printer you want
to create, plus the address of the server and the queue name.
This mode can be specified by passing /R on the command line;
the program will also enter this mode automatically (with a
warning) if a local CUPS server cannot be located.
- Some minor cosmetic adjustments.
