Hey Peter,

I tried the web interface, and that's what's not printing test pages.  Do I 
need to move these execs before I try to print a test page? 

Also, CUPS seems to have munged up my other printer installations pretty 
badly, and I don't know what to do to get them back.  I guess I'd rather get 
CUPS working right anyways.

Thanks!
