HI Doug and list,

- let's do some stepwise debugging :-)
- first, it doesn't hurt to repeat the lppasswd entry, making dead sure what 
one types in (as root):

lppasswd -g sys -a doug


Now fire up your browser, goto http://localhost:631

Select manage printers
How many printers do you see?
Are they green or red, what does their status say?

CUPS generally, is a fine printing mechanism. It has its quirks here and 
there, mostly popping up because one doesn't thoroughly understand the way 
it's working. That the case for me, anyhow. But there are many fine resources 
for more knowledge, how-tos and all. Some have already been mentioned in this 
thread.
