Boy, is this annoying to here.  Setting up a printer should be trivial by 
now.  But Sun has made the same mistake - they paid virtually no attention
to setting up printers, and it's a headache.

I was pleased to find with RedHat 5.2 that setting up a Deskjet on my machine
was as easy as getting a printer to work with Mickysoft boxes.  But it
seems that the basic Linux support just isn't there, if this complaint is
representative.
