Talking to a networked Apple Laserwriter with YDL3

You have to stop the cups dameon. This will allow yo to edit the printcap and then restart without losing it.

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?
