Of course automated configfuration is really nice.
But more and better printer drivers are nicer ;-)

By the way:
I don't have a running Mac OS - therefore a question:
Is there a CD (or floppy) from the printer manufacturer involved
or does the automated configfuration work out of the box with
only the Mac OS software?
