OK.  I did that and the install seemed to work fine.  Couldn't actually 
print a test page because it would wake someone up.  I'll try that tomorrow.
But, when I go to print using lp from a regular user, it doesn't seem to 
know what queue to write it to.  I did set it as the default printer in 
cups (it's the only printer I currently have).
What am I missing?
