Mac OS/X is playing nicely with CUPS and it was my fault not having had a Mac too long, it was the interface that screwed me up. there is a little right-arrow button that has a label by it that says "shared printers". after i clicked that button my EPSON printer on my linux box showed up. I also found out how to "enable" the root account, so I could change the /etc/hosts file to add in my network at home. So now all is right with the world. I can now say, as soon as we get my wife's quicken data off the windoze box that I can then start attending windows anonymous meetings...
