OK - I'm beginning to get somewhere here, using CUPS. I grabbed a PAP
backend for CUPS from here:
http://saf.bio.caltech.edu/pub/software/linux_or_unix_tools/pap_backend_with_cups.txt
And installed as per instructions. Printing a test page via the web
interface of CUPS gave the a 'connection refused by hostname:631'
error. I assume this is because I selected medium firewall security
during the YDL setup. Copying the link for printing a test page and
replacing 'hostname' with 'localhost' resulted in a nicely printed test
page. My next problem is how do I print from applications? Whatever
app I go to, the only printing option is 'postscript/default'. How do I
make my apps see the printer that is now setup through the CUPS web
interface?
