Oh, snap. I just discovered that the same holds true for the local CUPS configuration - Satcomer, you were a big help after all. ;-)

So I went to http://localhost:631/admin to check out the local CUPS server (got the URL from http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sam.html ) and added a new printer using that interface:

Name: dw090
Location: Outside room 136
Description: HP Laserjet 5600

Pointed it to socket://dw090.dreamworks.com:9100/
chose the driver, and added the printer. Printer added successfully.

And when I go to Preferences->Print & Fax, it shows 1 printer called
"HP Laserjet 5200" - when it should show the CUPS name, "dw090".

thx
anthony
