At least now configuration I set is showing up in a user directory as is 
proper given groups joined.  The printer isn't printing yet and there's 
paper in the paper tray but at least now it's not complaining about no 
default destination.  Turns out lpstat was the most powerful of the cups 
commands for setting a default printer too..
