(I don't know much about Windows, so I don't know what terminology to
use)...does Win2K let you specify the IPP address of your CUPS server
instead of using "Network Neighbourhood"? <fiddle diddle> Ah...maybe the
Windows printer's "network path" is what I think you could change. I
thought Win2K had built-in support for ipp://.../... or
http://...:631/... network paths (well, I'm pretty sure of it).
*However*, perhaps this relies on some driver support? (I'm used to Macs
and UNIX machines having a generic PostScript driver whereas Windows
application vendors apprently like to supply their own, so that they can
interfere with the already clunky operation of your Windows computer).
