Printers?
#2
CUPS is a bit annoying, (and this is from someone who used the original before the name change and all the improvements). The username is generally "root", which I don't recall the default password. (You should change the defaults at some point in your Pinebook Pro experimentation.)

In case you don't know, CUPS is generally managed though this web page:

http://localhost:631/

I try to use network attached printers, which are more complicated than USB attached printers. But, it's a reasonable interface to configure printers.

One thing to think about. I create several printers. For example;

 - Default BW text
 - Color text
 - BW text, double sided
 - Color text, double sided
 - Color photograph, 4x6
 - Color photograph 8.5x11

You can change the print parameters on the "fly", but I find it easier to have multiple printer definitions.
