I spoke too soon, it seems.  I was able to get it printing, using the commands
cupsenable(8) and accept(8), and with some minimal tweaking of the printers
config file.

However, it still will not talk to the KDE admin tools, and I have not been able
to get it back to being my print server for my wife's WinXP box (using lpd
services, not samba).

Any help out there?
