NOTE FOR PACKAGE USERS ONLY:
============================
This package does not create the spool directory, due to limitations in
the packaging mechanism, or my knowledge of it.
Once the package is installed, please do the following (as root):
cd /var/spool
mkdir -p cups/tmp
chown -R root:daemon cups
