In cups admin at http://localhost:631.  I used to use kde printer 
manager, presumably parallel to your cnome-cups-manager, but now I 
have descended to icewm, I stay with the generic tool.  I do not have 
gnome installed (rather, only the bits needed to make gnumeric run).

Thanks for the checklist.  I know I did not succeed with all of these, 
and probably the missing ones are the source of the problem (ignoring 
gnome-cups-manager).

I'll investigate further...
