	Man, it must have! The last time (about FC3 iirc), a friendly 
soul spent days trying to walk me through it, and finally had to quit 
before we ever got it to work. After that, I also tried buying a hardware 
printserver -- and never managed to get that to work, either...

	Poking around, I can't tell# CUPS whether what I got into was 
CUPS or not. $ cups, $ CUPS, # cups, and # CUPS all get "command not 
found." (rpm -q does tell me I have cups-1.3.9-1.fc9.i386)

	So I started looking in the Main Menu. The likeliest launcher, 
afaict, points to /usr/bin/system-config-printer; is that it? I hit the 
usual glass wall with that -- asking me things in jargon, as if being 
English words made their technical sense plain.

	I remember there was a way to make at least some browsers handle 
the configuration -- but not how to launch it; maybe that has gotten 
easier, too.

	Do you have a favorite tutorial on the web somewhere? I know 
there are some -- which looked a bit daunting last time I saw them...
