I think he meant define a shell variable called WITH_CUPS, with any
value, before doing the 'make'.  This is easily done as "export
WITH_CUPS=1".

I tried this, and am no nearer a solution. CUPS seems like a confusing
morass to me; I would much prefer the ghostscript command that I can put
into a filter and then call from /etc/printcap

However, I since tried the command  'escputil -i -u -r /dev/ulpt0'
My printer makes a few noises, and them times out, so I think I will try
a parallel cable instead of the USB connection - unfortunately I think I
have to go and buy one.
