No, this was helpful.

I'm apparently a real sucker for abuse.  Not only am I trying to use CUPS on Fedora Core 1, 
but I'm trying to print to a CUPS printer through Samba from a Windows 2000 machine.

The URL above prompted me to have another go at getting it working again this morning and 
spent another 45 minutes of giving my monitor the finger...

I've had my abuse for today.
