Oh. What you actually said was that OS 9 is beating OS X in the area of
setting up printers using 'shell', which had me confused, since OS 9 can't
use 'shell' at all, as far as I knew. I see now you just meant setting up
printers, period, not the 'shell' part. Or 'setting up printers _without_
using 'shell'. OK, got it.
