Is there a "Xubuntu way" to add a printer?

Adding a printer from the CUPS web interface fails; the login prompts 
for password to authenticate "CUPS" from the Administration/Add Printer 
page.

Testing from a laptop with a clean install of Xubuntu 6.06 beta, 
dist-upgraded through today.

I'm pretty sure I did this with a previous installation by enabling the 
root login and/or adding cupsys to the shadow group.  Can't remember 
exactly :-(

Apt shows installing gnome-cups-manager will add 32.3Mb of libraries and 
stuff.

Thanks,
