Setting up CUPS

Today I started the process of setting up my new Debian Sarge server at home. I've added two extra hard disks to the chassis, and got the basic partitioning done, so it's been physically put in place, and I don't intend to take it out again in a hurry.

My main tasks for the machine are to get the USB Epson printer it's attached to working, and then share that over Samba. My current server/desktop system runs old style BSD printing, and Samba, but for the new system I thought I'd try CUPS. So far it's not done much yet, and I can't say that I've found the documentation that much help either...
