This is to confirm that I have set up Feisty using CUPS with an Epson 
Stylus Photo R220.  The printer is networked and shared with 4 Windows 
XP PCs.  I think I actually prefer administering the printer this way.

Thanks for that bit of information.  While I new of http://localhost:631 
(though never used it) I didn't think it would offer any other way of 
adding a printer to which the drivers were not in the distribution.  I 
will give this a try.
