Thank you for this.  I still seem to be stuck, this time I can't get a user to 
authenticate.  Going back to my Suse days, once again, I remember the need to 
use :-

	lppasswd -a someuser

but on my Ubuntu I get :-

	spudulike at ubuntu:~$ sudo lppasswd -a spudulike
	Enter password:
	Enter password again:
	lppasswd: Unable to open passwd file: Permission denied

Any help getting over this hurdle gratefully received.
