I've got GentooX installed and all is working great! Thanks ShALLaX!
But it occurs to me that since I have a PostScript printer (Xerox 4400N) living on my LAN, I might be able to set up GentooX to print to this printer.
Is this possible? If so, how would I set that up?
BTW, I can already http into my printer using mozilla, so I know it's already talking to me on the LAN.
Thanks again.

emerge cups
rc-update add cupsd default
/etc/init.d/cupsd start
then go to http://localhost:631/admin (from your xbox) and try and configure it

Great Info - Xbox printing to LAN printer!
Great info and tutorial, nobspangle, thank you!
For the benefit of future noobs, here are some extra steps I took:
I ended up downloading my printer's PPD file from Xerox Web site, and copied it to /usr/share/cups/model/
then ran /etc/init.d/cupsd restart from a konsole.
In http://localhost:631/admin, set up printer as LPD and specified its IP address in location and URI prompts.
Presto! Xbox prints beautifully
