Re: CUPS

Thank you, Randy.  Actually, I had noticed that printtool was available, and decided to switch to that.  Simple setup, and the test pages print, but there is no apparent way to get lp to work.  Despite the fact that test pages print, the autodetect feature claims I don't have parport compiled into the kernel.  It is there.  

With this assistance, I think I'll switch back to cups.
