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?
