Thank you.

I would rather not do this, since I have read that using Foomatic 
instead of Cups is perhaps unreliable.  Also, Florian Kulzer gave me a 
solution that works for now, and I can now happily wait to see what 
happens with the bug you filed.  Of course, if anyone working on this 
needs extra information from me I'll be happy to oblige.

Thanks much for verifying that I am not crazy :) and for filing the bug 
report.
