[ale] Lynx and ssh is kinda cool

[Dow Hurst]

Correct, it listens on port 631 by default.  You can change that if you 
want in the cupsd.conf file.  Printers.conf is where you set the default 
printer.  The lp subsystem and cups subsystem don't work together on the 
same machine.  You need to pick one or the other to print with.  
Cupsd.conf usually requires that you setup the Allow directives on 
printer access and printer configuration access as they are separate 
sections in the config file.  I usually end up setting all clients to 
BrowsePoll the IP of the print server.  So on the clients set the Browse 
directives and on the server set the Allow From directives.  The print 
server is set to allow all requests from the IPs that I want to print to 
the printers attached to the machine.  If you need to have a USB HP 
printer setup then you will need the USB to be enabled before cups 
starts on boot.  There is documentation at www.cups.org on the open 
source stuff and a commercial product at www.easysw.com.

The lpadmin command line was a little confusing, so decided to install Apache for the web-based CUPS admin tools. Still do not want to install X (very little memory in the PC) - so used Lynx as my web browser.
