accessing printserver



hey folks,

just bought a cheap SMC printserver/wireless router combination () for
our home network.  I'm trying to figure out how to configure CUPS to
print to an attached printer (Brother hl-1440). of course the manual
only talks about windows, so it's not very informative.  Some quick
googling suggests I need to use set a URL like the following in CUPS:

lpd://192.168.2.1/L1  

where 192.168.2.1 is the router ip, and L1 is the name of a queue or
something.  Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work -- the printer
sork of groans and tries to print, but nothing's actually emitted.
Has anyone managed to set up some printer to work with some
printserver -- and do you have any hints?  Thanksm uch,

matt
