    Okay, I know this is pathetic, but I haven't had printing set up on my
    user debian machine in ... well, ever. Or several installs ago, anyway.
    This particular machine tends to be my guinea pig. And printing always
    seems so complicated and whatnot ... and I rarely print, anyway ... so I
    just didn't bother. Our printer has its own IP address and all, so this
    really should be straight-forward; I'm just lazy.

    Anyway, I finally did it. It was odd. I had a magicfilter script in
    place, so I installed lprng and ran the mf configurator. It barfed when
    it claimed couldn't find /etc/init.d/lpd. So I uninstalled lprng and
    installed lpr. That gave me permission errors on a non-existent file,
    namely /var/spool/lpd/<printer>/.seq , iirc. So after trying all sorts
    of other stuff, I reinstalled lprng and suddenly, it works.

    Whatever. I can print now. I just need to figure out why firefox is
    printing pages such that four can fit on a sheet ... not that I mind so
    much, but it's curious. A matter for another day, I suppose.
