intrepid howto for adding a printer?

[D. R. Evans]

Does anyone know where there are detailed instructions as to how to add a
CUPS-based printer under intrepid?

I have such a printer:

1. a computer running hardy can access it perfectly
2. The lack of "Printers" under System Configuration in intrepid confused
me, but there's a "Printing" application accessible from the system menu. So
that's what I tried to use. The fact that it doesn't even seem to require
root privs is bothering, though.
3. I note that the printer does not appear in the list of remote printers
(even though I have "show printers shared by other systems ticked), so I had
to try to add it manually. Obviously, I did something wrong.
