	Hi Jonathan, the problem is that the software for the printer setup has 
been updated and it no longer contains the printer I have with a 
parallel port connector. There is no way for me to select a lpt0 port so 
it can't work! I have no idea what they call the thing. But IT IS the 
problem not cups.
