I'm just trying to print from the local box so far.  I'll worry about 
sharing once I get the printer to respond.

I did find where the log file is kept, which is much more informative 
than what is displayed thru the web interface.  There is a perl error 
displayed, though I forget what right ATM.  Is CUPS written in perl?
