Under Fedora this wouldn't have worked straight away.  It appears Fedora have
picked a default of only listening on 127.0.0.1:631, which I hadn't realised
in my previous post.  That's if your print server was running Fedora.  To be
honest, I'm quite happy with that as the default, but I seem to have missed
the big red button to turn it back on for non-techy home users.
