[ale] printing to a cups printer?

I really don't know if there is any difference between ipp and http!
Haven't read that far in the CUPs docs. About the USB, I was wondering
if upon reboot of spirit if it configures and starts up the printer
properly. Since I am having trouble with this working properly, I am
curious if your works right. Specifically, I believe that the ptal
startup script isn't finding and configuring the USB connection. So
CUPS doesn't think the printer is connected once it starts up. I've had
to run "ptal-init setup" by hand upon reboot and then once the device is
found and configured (I don't change any values, just accept what was
already configured), I restart CUPs and "enable" the printer.
