Jeez, that requires a whole lot of understanding. I'm not sure I'm up
to that today (bad night's sleep).

Step 5 from here <http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html> works,
but the second field in the wizard says 'location' and I've not a clue
what to enter. That means, backup, read and learn about CUPS right
from the start.

The more I know, the more I think Linux ain't for normal people.
