Thanks! Well, I know this. As I said, I'm printing to a Wondies server. This one isn't owned by me, so renaming the printer isn't a choice.
I found something more on the CUPS documentation: To configure CUPS for SAMBA, run the following command: ln -s `which smbspool` /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb ENTER I do not have samba installed. Will I need a further USE flag? Will I need to reemerge everything after the USE flag changes (See the empty ''Advanced'' tab in gnome-cups-manager)? Is this a (at least documentation) bug, which has to be filed?
