Does cups recognise printers that arent installed using cups? because i installed one using tcp direct printing and when i clicked the link to configure cups. It takes me to a page showing the printers i just installed. Also how do i create groups for a printer? Well it seems i need to create a new group then specify that it gives members use to printers? Could someone give me and idiots walkthrough of this please as i have no idea what to do!Cheers

I have never set up a cups printer before. What does it mean by name for prining:
Drescription of class:
and
Location of printer:
Also do i want a raw queue?
Right,
You can ignore classes, as these are for distributed clients.
Location of printer is simply a string that you yourself put in so that you know what/where the printer is.
The raw queue is the data spooled to the printer, typically via a FIFO-named pipe such as /dev/lp/0.

Would using cups be easier than direct tcp printing?
Yes, CUPS provides TCP printing anyhow.
