As a counterexample I had a *hell* of a time getting CUPS 
going and the web interface still dies on me whenever I try 
to do anything from it. Now that it's configured though it's 
  been solid and reliable as long as I stick to command line.

CUPS really seems to be the wave of the future though and 
certainly a lot of the filter/driver support is centered on it.
