I've been tempted as well. Bravo for making it happen.

Sounds like you have migrated from Window clients, or are you moving 
from dumb terminals?

Are you ever going to have windows clients on the network that may want 
  to print on these printers?

Here's a place that GUI interfaces are your friend. I'm familiar with 
Webmin, but in your case you should be able to use YaST2 to make it 
pretty simple to enable the client workstation to allow other computers 
to use attached printers.

It really shouldn't be that hard, and should "just work".

Also from your subject line... are you really running fp 5.0.0? You 
should be running more like 5.0.14.
