Ah.  Interesting.  Are only the two kept?  Because both have my 2 
printers and first I created one via the web interface, changed it, then 
created the second via system-config-printer remote and changed that.  
This implies either only a .0 being kept (prior version), or the web 
interface did not create it?

BTW, the server is F21-arm beta.  So next week I will probably be 
starting from scratch and will pay some attention to what is going on 
here.  But I DO want to get printing going!  I need some other printing 
apps beyound enscript for testing.
