Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

You undoubtedly have one flavor or another of an "integrated" headsets and, unfotunately, there are a lot of incompatible "standards". A Google search on your bike came up with a BikePedia listing saying it has a "1 1/8" threadless TH Intellaset" headset so that is one form of integrated. TH Indistries makes most, if not all, of FSA's headsets so I assume it uses one of their configurations.

I recommend you take the frame to a competent LBS and try to match it with the correct headset. If it is really an integrated headset, you won't need your cup press, just a crown race setter, and possibly not even that. Some FSA headsets come with "split" crown races that install with just finger pressure.
