You were right. I'd just assumed that was there by default.
After installing the lp module, I found that lprng behaved in exactly
the same way as cups. Having established that the problem is not with
cups but with the output filters in some way, I have now uninstalled
lprng and returned to cups.

It printed the test page correctly once, apparently randomly. After the
next boot it stopped doing so, but this was before the lp module problem
which only appeared after I removed cups and changed to lprng..
I can't afford to spend more time on this for now. I will have to find
some other way to print (sneakernet to my wife's windows machine, I
expect :-(
Thanks for all your help
