The device uri is file:///dev/null
I'm sure I didn't write that it, but am just using it as a discovered
printer. The printer is attached to another machine. The print dialogue
window from Firefox shows the correct host for the printer. When I tried
attaching the printer to the machine hosting the vm, it showed up under
that machine's name.

But Chrome can print. So can other programs. Makes me wonder if it's not
FF specific.
I have another vm with the RH 6 beta on it. Later, I'll set up printing
on that and try that.
