[Klug-general] Setting up CUPS

[Andrew Miller (Spode)]

As a continuation to what we were talking about at the last Linux meet, 
I have managed to setup CUPS as previously wanted.

For those who weren't there, I have been connecting to my networked CUPS 
printers via Samba, and having to install the drivers on each machine. 
As the Canon CAPT drivers are a PITA and not 64-bit compatible, this 
wasn't an option for me.

I tried ticking the "Show printers shared by other systems" tick box, 
and it made no difference. I wonder if I need to have NFS setup properly 
for that to work. In the end I added a new printer and just put the URI as:

http://192.168.0.113:631/printers/LBP5000

Which seemed FAR too simple. But sent off a test page and all worked 
perfectly!

Many thanks to whomever helped me at the event (I remember the face, but 
not the name - an awful flaw of mine).
