OK, I've been working through following your advice.  At this point I
have GNU Ghostscript 8.01, hpijs and cups 1.1.something installed.
However, I decided to try installing to /opt/cups-stuff rather than let
it become mingled with the large amount of sunfreeware stuff in
/usr/local.

I'm not sure what role the foomatic stuff plays, but I'll install it as
well anyway.

Err, I would appreciate your cups.conf file though.
