The printer was on during initialisation, something I was aware of from my 
Suse days.

I am still perplexed by the lack of admin rights with Cups.  Trying to get 
access to the admin pages for the Cups server, via localhost:631 brings up 
the log-in prompt as you would expect, but I have been ubable to log in, even 
though I have tried adding users with stuff like :

 sudo lppasswd -a Colin

but this doesn't seem to have worked.  

The Cups server does suggest that I follow some Gnome menus - not much help.

I have also added 'Colin' to the 'lp' and 'lpadmin' groups.

Is there something else I should try?
