Thanks for the response, but it's not working.
The docs don't help much. A simple example is needed there.
I've had enough of this for now. The config files are making my head
spin. I'll dig back in again and do some more reading when I get to it,
and post if I solve it. I'm just lacking in basic understanding of CUPS
right now - and how all the packages fit together etc.
