[lug] CUPS printing problem

[Bruce Long]

The N900 is a phone using the Linux Maemo distro. It doesn't have any
printing support at all so I am setting it up from scratch.

I'm learning a lot about CUPS! Your suggestion about foomatic and
ghostscript is probably correct. I have gcc on the phone; I'll see if they
build!

Thanks!
