Ok, good.  I had to do a windoze-style reboot to get the printing to start 
again.  But yes, lp somefile.ps succeeds, either as root or user.

I'll look for the previous thread.  But menawhile, can anyone help me with why 
I cannot alter the print queue from print manager (KDE)?  I can restart the 
print server - it asks for root password.  Every other operation it rejects 
"You don't have access to the requested resources".  And even restarting the 
print manager after deleting the stalled prints from the queue was not enough 
to unlock it - hence the Microsoft-style reboot.
