 Known issues:
-- adding printer using the web interface doesn't work - it hangs trying
-to detect the attached printers.  Adding a printer from the command line
-using lpadmin does however work.
-- currently tested printer backends are ipp & lpd - usb isn't working. 
-However, in the meantime, you can create a printer object for the USB
-printer, and run the OS/2 lpd daemon and print to a usb printer using
-the lpd backend in cups.
-- cups and associated programs are hardcoded to be in \gs, \gutenprint & \cups
-- to reduce the size of the archive, only en_GB language Gutenprint ppd files are included

 Add a printer using the syntax:
-eg 1) \cups\sbin\lpadmin -p laserjet4mps -E -v lpd://192.168.1.253 (Postscript printer called lsaerjet4mps, on LPD server at 192.168.1.253

 Verify printer has been added by loading the web interface in a browser with http://localhost:631 - look at the Printers button to see the printer and set any options (ie paper size, etc).
