slow progress is better than none ;-) Enter "localhost:631" administration and go through "printers" -> add printer. You will be asked for a description and a localtion - information data only - and for a device URI. This is the ip address of your remote printer. You also will probably have to choose the driver for your printer from the list of printers. Try in a shell "gs --help", this will show you the list of all printers suported by your software. I would start trying to connect the printer to your box directly in the first approach, and later connecting the printer as a remote one. Is your remote printer a standalone device or is it connected to a server ? A very good start is the cups documentation in the "help" of the localhost:631. Remember: try and error ! Good luck BTW.: follow up through "newbies", not directly, as more persons may help you and others may also have a benefit from this emails.
