Art,
What distribution are you using? If you are using RedHat, the "printtool"
is very handy. You can set up the printer with that, then take a look at
/etc/printcap to see what the right settings are.
I use RedHat for my 'workstation' at home, and slackware for my dial-out,
and have never tried setting up a printer on a slackware box.. It
shouldn't be that hard, but again, if you have redhat, give printtool a
shot. (it's one of the 'tools' in control-panel.. some are useless.. but
that one is nifty)
