Well, I can't find any reference to it anywhere, other than the CUPS
website. So I don't think it's here, nor apparently installable by YUM.
Trying to put it into that location didn't help, nothing happens
(print-wise). You see some apparent progress, as it appears to get
ready to print (the progress display pop-up, and a progress bar quickly
goes from zero to full, but nothing else really happens). After a few
minutes the printer configurating dialogue box returns, probably waiting
for me to correct it.

My dislike of KDE aside (for numerous reasons), I don't see that adding
many megs of extra KDE or xpp files is a solution. For the one thing,
one of the FC4 boxes prints fine, the others are playing silly buggers,
and they *used* to print without any issues. None of them have KDE, so
it's clearly not needed. I just can't tell what the difference is
between the different boxes at this stage.
