I'll be happy to offer whatever help I can, but it'd probably be
quicker for you to practice the debugging steps I mentioned in the
original post.

After all, that's how I mucked my way through it...

Let me know if you get it working, and let me know if you had to
do anything different (with regard to CUPS, of coarse!).

If you get stuck, let me know. I'll try to prod you in the right
direction.
