thanks again for all your help. i really think we're getting somewhere. my computer (as well as cups) now recognizes the driver and the printer. the printer is a network printer attached to a static IP. so i'm guessing what i need to do now is configure the queue? again, i tried and failed. your help is greatly appreciated.
