Hi Dave,
You may have already solved the problem with other people's help.
However, I thought I'd mention my favorite way to take care of CUPS
printer administration: I use the CUPS web interface, which I believe
exists regardless of your Linux distribution and certainly regardless of
the desktop you use (which is nice if you ever decide to change desktops
or even distributions).
Point your browser to <http://localhost:631>. If asked to log-in you
probably will need to log-in as root. The web interface will allow you
to take care of tasks like adding printers and viewing queues. The "add
printer" feature is a nice, easy "wizard" type series of steps. To get
there, click "Do Administration Tasks" at the main menu.
