Yes, I already got to the administrator section but then trying to configure the 
'printer server' I got a dialogue box with username: root and then asking for a 
password - to which I tried mine and then changed to various 'user names' without 
success :-(

I even tried the documentation on the Kubuntu website 
[https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/cups.html] but it only has info 
on 6.06 - which is now redundant as Feisty uses a different file system (there is 
no '/etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf' in Feisty).

Blessings,

Nigel
