Printing problems w/CUPS, HP 5550, WP8

[Marc Shapiro <mshapiro@sunlitsurf.com>]

My old printer stopped working, AGAIN, so I decided that it was time for a new 
 printer.  After checking www.linuxprinting.org and looking to see what I 
could find available in my price range I found an HP Deskjet 5550.

I decided to take advantage of changing printers to also change from LPRng to 
CUPS.  I installed cupsys, cupsys-client, cupsys-bsd, foomatic-bin, and xpp, 
as well as all of their dependancies.

The install went fine and I can print a text file with 'lpr filename'. 
Openoffice also seems to print OK.  For WP8, however, I have to setup each 
printer in WordPerfect.  WP8 is old enough that there is no option for a DJ 
5550.  I plan on using OpenOffice for most of my word processing, but I 
occaisionally get a file in WordPerfect format and OpenOffice does not have an 
import filter for it, so I have to fall back on my WP8.  How do I get it to 
recognize my new printer?
