Also, that's almost certainly not the right answer, since our experience with c-c-c has shown us that CUPS does not like people playing stupid games with printers.conf. Additionally, all driver info is lost, and since CUPS is, by itself, incapable of generating usable PostScript, we need to be able to specify driver information. Using lpadmin from the command line is the right answer for whatever we do.
