    9191  * USB helper driver (required for USB printing only): http://en.ecomstation.ru/projects/usbtools/download/usbcalls-20060807.zip (again, you may have this already, especially if you use a recent version of eComStation)
    9292  * `PRNDRV.EXE` is a useful program that can "clean up" printer entries in the INI files (not actually necessary for using CUPS, but can be very useful if you do a lot of creating and deleting of printers): http://www.os2site.com/sw/comm/faxworks/prndrv.exe
     93  * Printer 'wizard', a graphical interface that largely automates setting up new printers: http://www.altsan.org/os2/printing/#cupswiz

    218219A simple graphical user interface known as the eCups printer wizard (or "CUPSWIZ" for short) is now available for beta testing.  It is highly recommended to try using this tool first, especially if you are new to eCups, as it automates most of the complicated stuff for you.

    222223Note that this program still has a few significant limitations - in particular, printers are always created with default job properties.  If you create a printer using this interface, you may wish to use the CUPS web interface afterwards, to check the defaults and adjust them as needed (and do the same in the WPS printer object as well).

    226 In this section we'll describe how to set up CUPS-based printing manually, step by step. 
     227In this section we'll describe how to set up CUPS-based printing manually, step by step.  You may need to do this if the printer wizard (above) doesn't work for you.  Or you may prefer to do things this way anyway — it's useful for understanding how it all works.
