Installing CUPS/HPIJS was as easy as...
%> emerge cups ghostscript hpijs
Portage automatically retrieves, compiles, and installs CUPS, GhostScript,
the complete Foomatic configurator, HPIJS, etc., etc. and
_integrates_them_all_. i.e., All of the HPIJS drivers/filters and Foomatic
drivers/filters are *already* present in the web-based CUPS interface.
Now *that* is what I call a relatively-flat learning curve!!!
