Hmmm . . . you forgot,
apt-get install cupsys-driver-gimpprint
gunzip <driver>.gz
cp driver /usr/share/cups/model
I guess that is only if the proper driver isn't included with cups.
also, I used lpadmin to configure the printer. I didn't even realize
there was a web server listening on 631. Doh!! Oh, but it does ask for
username and password. I suppose that's secure enough.
