Hi, John!  I was missing the package cups-filters-1.28.17_6.  After I
installed it, that error vanished and I've been able to print with CUPS
just fine, minus an issue with two-sided print outs (they're all coming
out with the flip long edge option, no matter what I choose).

I have not installed CUPS from the Ports Collection.  I pkg-installed
it.  To try the ipptool, I think I'd need to compile it and reset up
everything.  Maybe I will.  Maybe I should be using IPP, but it's not
clear what I'd be gaining exactly.
