"""
I have the error "lpadmin:could not connect..." when
trying to configure foomatic before starting CUPS.  I
skipped it, started CUPS, and went back and did
foomatic and the errors went away.  Perhaps the
documentation should mention trying this, as it seems
other people have gotten the same error.  In any case,
thanks for the docs!

The documentation already mentions to start CUPS before running foomatic.
