[ale] cups continued

[Geoffrey]

The printer works great on another box, I'm just trying to move it to a 
standalone, to get the printer services off my primary box.

So, it's either my ignorance of cups, or some hardware quirk.  This box 
has no bios options regarding the parallel port.

It's an addon card for the parallel port, but I can't find docs on it so 
as to determine if the port might be turned off via jumpers.  That's 
what I'm looking into now.  I thought I found some docs, but when I 
changed the jumpers and rebooted, the bios reported that the floppy had 
been disabled.  Oops, wrong jumpers.... :(

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
