So far so good.

Umm, hmm. First of all, I have no idea what 'foomatic-configure' is or what it is supposed to do. (actually I have a guess, but the point is that I have never used it and don't know how it is supposed to be used or how it is supposed to work)
What I do notice is that you didn't configure cups after installing the package. Use the 'lpadmin' command, or point a browser to http://localhost:631/ and add a printer.
OK, this is where I get into trouble.
I have what is supposed to be a network printer with support for JetDirect, Cups and LPD. Unfortunately, it isn't exactly a cups server. So I guess in order to get my network printer working, I need yet another server....
I guess the whole point was to set up a printer that didn't require another server. After all, it's got it's own hard drive and a 233MHz CPU.
