I've been working on getting my laptop to talk directy to the printer
using old, pre-Cups protocols, and so far have had trouble with getting
it to communicate properly. Haven't worked on this for a while because
of responsibilities with nanowrimo, and am using a temprary workaround
of moving pdf's to another machine that does pdf's. Of course I'll be
back on the case in December, and it's probably something trivial that's
in the way.
