When I said CUPS, i meant that generally, not specially using your
browser on port 631. I was assuming that system-congig-printer
interacts with CUPS. WIth those assumptions in place, once the daemon
detects the printer, all you need to is add a printer, however you
feel comfortable, and it should appear in the list of addable
printers. No special magic. As I mentioned earler. All this happened
for me in FC6 automatically upon installtion.
