Too bulky and cumbersome. Go to a web interface. Follow link to install
device. Choose device from a list ... I prefer to read up on the
syntax of a config file or two, and just edit them, or write them out
if they aren't already there.

On a related note, I recently had to replace my almost 20-year-old hp
laserJet 5l because the part that broke couldn't be replaced. So, I
replaced it with a samsung m28253dw. I was struggling to configure
everything how I wanted through a less than fully accessible web
interface, and found myself wishing more than once during the process
that the darned printer had a telnet interface or something more
straight forward.
