Tried that just now and it failed with cups server errors.  Turns out the init 
script for cups isn't working properly.  If I start it with /etc/init.d/cups 
it appears to start  and a process shows up but doesn't work properly.  If I 
just run 'sudo cupsd' from the console, it loads and works fine.  Happily 
printing now.  I'll have to troubleshoot the init script when I have time to 
find the problem.
