Getting printing started.

[Colin Murphy]

Hi list,
 I'm new to K/Ubuntu, you'ld be best to think of me as a Suse refugee.  I have 
Kububtu 5.04 running.

I am having no success with getting my USB printer to work.  I beleive it is 
configured correctly, it appears in the KDE printer manager for instance, but 
nothing prints from it.  It's an Epson C66, configured as a C64, just like it 
was on my Suse 9.2 install and was found as a USB device when I started to 
install a printer.

Print Manager seems happy to try and print, ie, I get no error messages.

Suggestions then please as to what to fiddle with to coax it into life?  Might 
it be a permissions or group problem Like I had getting sound to work for an 
additional log-in.  

It might be a CUPs problem, seeing as I'm not having much luck getting admin 
rights over it, even though I've done a 

  Colin at ubuntu:~$ sudo lppasswd -a ubuntu

to det a user up.  Is there anything unusual I should know about CUPS and 
Kubuntu?
