I guess it does work the same. I finally got it to work...printed your
email as first job!

I'm still left with one little housekeeping problem. In my attempts to
get the printer working I'd tried a number of setups. One of them still
shows up in Printer Configuration/Browsed Queues as "HPLaserJet6L". I
can open/close the browsed queues list but NOT delete this reference to
a printer that doesn't really exist. Ditto in Gnome Print Manager. I'm
showing three printers there. Two that really exist: HPLJ6L and HPAIO (a
PSC750xi that is connected locally via usb) and the aforementioned
HPLaserJet6L. The "Delete" icon is greyed out for the printer that
doesn't exist. I can "Hide" it so it doesn't show up in my list of
available printers, but would like to get rid of it completely. 
Is this a job for the command line?
Thanks to Olaf and other who offered help which ultimately got my
printer working. (Now to try to get it going under OSX)
