The list of printers that comes up when I'm in the "Add Printer Wizard" (Ugh! Why did they have to use that word?) is pretty short, and the brand of the printer I'd like to add isn't in there. It's an IBM Laser. Can anyone point me to where I can get further info to put in there?
My wild guess is that you installed CUPS and only CUPS.
IIUC, to use CUPS with other than PostScript printers and a few models (including Epson) you have to either purchase their driver package or install additional software.

I think that you can use Foo-Matic with CUPS.
I think that there is a version of GIMP-Print for CUPS.
Or, IIUC, you can obtain a MODIFIED PPD file that will let you use CUPS with your GhostScript device with CUPS-O-Matic. But, it appears to have vanished. :-(
