On a customer site :-)

At home, my wife's computer is the one with the phone line in it, so between
having some work these days and having a new baby (w/diarrhea at the moment),
time to do anything about our home network, or lack of one, has been really
scarce.

Been there, done that, or I wouldn't be here doing this :-p  CUPS did not, of
course, work.  It's not supposed to, it's CUPS.  LPRng (does that mean No Go?)
also will do JetDirect, but no joy there.  The print server listens on 23 and
80 (for management), 515, and 631 (IPP).  JetDirect is 9100, so it appears to
have no mode for that.  I tried CUPS with IPP too, but no print.
Removed CUPS again since this is an old and slow machine with little room for
things (Celery 366, 4 GB, 64 MB) that will basically just a Snort box,
watching to see if anything gets past the firewall, and a syslog host for the
firewall.

If I could find out what the fscking print server wants to hear for a queue
name, I'd be all set, but that nugget of info remains elusive.
