I fixed it :-)

I used the cupsd.conf from the previous Edgy box that the printer was attached to 
and just changed the 'Server Name' entry to reflect my 'hostname'.

I then struggled with it until I added an entry for my box to the other computer's 
'/etc/hosts' - now it prints :-)

Now then:
Any ideas how I can edit the new Feisty cupsd.conf to get it to work instead of 
using an ancient version from about 4 years ago? It's much more concise and even 
quite a bit different from previous versions - which is why I'm probably confused 
by it.

Thanks for your offer of help and encouragement!

Blessings,

Nigel
