CUPS????. Right . . .
What is it?
How is it used?
And where is it?
The ta, above, implies CUPS was installed with the latest MP3
and UP3.
Do I still need oss662a?
Nevermind. I'll install it anyway.

I already tried rlpconf. Bad idea.
It made all the printcap, /usr/spool/lpd/xxx,
and the /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/printers/xxx
stuff, but printing won't work (of course,
after restarting spooler).
