[ale] printer support in router

[Dow Hurst]

Whoa!  I misread your post!!!

Just assigned the IP of the printer plugged into the printer port (which 
is your router's internal IP) to the CUPs printer URL.  What you will be 
doing is just telling CUPS that it must connect to the printer via an IP 
instead of a local USB or parallel port.  If the printer understands 
Postscript or if CUPs has a driver for the printer you are in business.
