[clug] Connecting a printer to Suse 11.1

Keith,
See http://www.cups.org/articles.php?L274 for instructions on the web 
interface, and  http://www.cups.org/documentation.php for the Cups 
documentation. The 'there' directory should be /usr/share/doc/packages/cups/ 
or /usr/share/cups/doc-root/
See 
http://www.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/opensuse/updates/11.1/x86_64/cups-1.3.9-7.6.1.x86_64.html
for the first directory. The second one is what I have on my Kubuntu 8.04 
system.
Best, Paul
