properly installed the CUPS software and the Gimp-Print software.
This section will discuss adding a printer to CUPS that uses a
Gimp-Print printer driver, as well as how to modify the various
settings supplied by Gimp-Print. This will be a rather quick
explanation, as the CUPS software is quite well documented, and it is
not my intention to attempt to duplicate the CUPS documentation here.
