Tried both, no luck.  They each take about 5 minutes to complete which 
was unexpected.  I've also tried to add the printer using lynx as the 
browser.  Result: lockup.  cups pegged my CPU and my ssh connection died

I'm thinking I need to do something really primitive here.
Like attempt sending a postscript job, or cups configuration, manually 
via 'telnet 192.168.0.100 9100' to see where it actually barfs. 
Unfortunately I have no clue what this would involve.  I can do this for 
things like http and smtp.

lpadmin -p Kyocera -E -v socket://192.168.0.100:9100 -m 
Kyocera-FS-1900-Postscript.ppd
lpadmin: add-printer failed: server-error-service-unavailable
lpadmin: add-printer failed: server-error-service-unavailable
lpadmin: add-printer failed: server-error-service-unavailable

(same for s/9100/631/)
