Sorry for the late reply.
Somehow I missed it.

Can you post your /var/log/cups logs in the main list?

Ok, thanks for the info. 

I just ran system-config-printer-tui and it creates the printer ok, and I found the driver for my printer (deskjet 6540).  Now I get 'error while printing' when I do the test page.  This is a local printer so I am not browsing to it really.  Any other suggestions?  Is there a generic universal type driver that I could test with? 

Thanks,
Marc

Another option is to connect to the machine using a browser from a
remote machine:
