printtool for the win.

However, I appear to have skimped on my installation and the GUI tools
are complaining that gtk is unavailable when I try to tunnel X over ssh

system-config-printer-tui, but found it not very intuitive.
install GTK, run printtool, uninstall GTK?
So can someone point me to some reading?
CUPS has a nifty config web server it runs usually on
http://localhost:631/. You'll have to open its access up a bit wider for
your other machines to access it, but you could conceivably add the
printer that way. The printer won't work locally for a lot of things,
since redhat/fedora bastardized the way it works, but it should still
work fine on the network. Really though, the right way is to bite the
bullet and use printtool, even if it means installing GTK on your server
(which, IMO, isn't a bad thing anyways as a lot of things I may want to
run locally have it in their dependency tree).
Good luck...
