I just went back to that CUPS thing and it had identified my printer and modem.
But what good is this if it's not on my machine? I can't imagine wanting to display my personal faxing on the Web.

My head's about to burst because I'm not understanding anything about how my machine works or how to make it do anything I want. I'm just about to disconnect it and go back to my iMac DV SE and Mozilla 1.0.1, because at least I understand what's going on and can get my bidding done — including searches which are relevant, embedded movies which play without having to completely download first, etc etc.

With the exception of a nice keyboard and cool mouse, the new set-up sucks big time.
