Okay, I have all of these now, and I'm reading the gimp-print readme, and
it says that cups is required for gimp-print.  It also looks like I need
to ./configure with foomatic and ghostscript, after I ./configure, make,
and make install the program by itself.  Am I reading that right?

Then if I run printconf I should be able to get it working?  Is that
right?
