+__("Here we select a printing system for your computer to use. Other OSes may
+offer you one, but mandrake offers three.
+
+pdq--which means print, don't queue, is the choice if you have a direct
+connection to your printer and you want to be able to panic out of printer
+jams, and you do not have any networked printers. It will handle only
+very simple network cases and is somewhat slow for networks. Pick pdq
+if this is your maiden voyage to linux. You can change your choices
+after install by running printerdrake from the Control Center and
+clicking the expert button.
+
+CUPS--Common Unix Printing System is excellent at printing to your local
+printer and also halfway round the planet. It is simple and can act like
+a server or a client for the ancient lpd printing system, so it is
+compatible with the systems that went before. It can do many tricks,
+but the basic setup is almost as easy as pdq. If you need this to emulate
+an lpd server, you must turn on the cups-lpd daemon. It has graphical
+front-ends for printing or choosing printer options.
+
+lprNG--line printer daemon New Generation--this system can do approximately
+the same things the others can do, but it will print to printers mounted
+on a Novell Network, because it supports IPX protocol, and it can print
+directly to shell commands. If you have need of Novell or printing to
+commands without using a separate pipe construct, use lprNG. Otherwise,
+CUPS is preferable as it is simpler and better at working over networks."),
