I'm right at the beginning here. Currently there's no printer set up at 
all, so I cannot print from the RH machine itself, so that's the first 
step, although to be honest I don't think I need to actually print 
locally, just share the printer(s) on the network.

I guess the question is would I be better off going with CUPS, or 
should I stick to LPR?
