Not sure how to do that....  If you can point me, I'll give it a try.

Tried it just now.  Still no good.  It probs ports, reports that it 
detected the printer, I set it up with the recommended driver, told it to 
print a test page, and nothing.  Not a peep out of the printer, and 
/var/log/cups/error_log still shows the started cupsomatic process exiting 
with a status of 32.  Argh.

Not this time, at least as far as printerdrake goes.  If you can give me a 
pointer on "printing with gimp," I'll give that a try.

Thanks, I'm going to need it. :-)  And thanks for the URL above.  I'll 
definitely be checking that out.
