slow progress is better than none ;-)
Enter "localhost:631" administration and go through "printers" -> add printer. 
You will be asked for a description and a localtion - information data only - 
and for a device URI. This is the ip address of your remote printer. You also 
will probably have to choose the driver for your printer from the list of 
printers. Try in a shell "gs --help", this will show you the list of all 
printers suported by your software.

I would start trying to connect the printer to your box directly in the first 
approach, and later connecting the printer as a remote one. Is your remote 
printer a standalone device or is it connected to a server ? 

A very good start is the cups documentation in the "help" of the 
localhost:631.
Remember: try and error !
Good luck
BTW.: follow up through "newbies", not directly, as more persons may help you 
and others may also have a benefit from this emails.
Regards,
Edgar
