Are you actually able to configure a printer through CUPS now? As far 
as I can figure out, Tiger killed CUPS, but if you know a way around 
it, I'd love to hear it.  I've been trying to access my old 
LaserWriter 16/600 through CUPS but get error messages when I click 
the Configure Printer link.

It may be that some geeks have made workarounds, but if so, I can't 
understand them. Here's what it says at the CUPS site (scroll to the 
darkend rectangle under "Binaries" at the middle of the page:
