Damn, silly me. I had an '@' there at some earlier stage in the process. However, that wasn't the trouble --- putting the '@' in had the same results. However, I tried to connect to the server at port 631 as you suggested, and got a connection denied type error (previously I had been reading the docs through the filesystem). It turned out that CUPS wasn't actually running! And here was I thinking that lpadmin was complaining about the windows machine not responding. I'm sure that I saw a 'starting CUPS server' message when I apt-get'd (apt-got?) it. Oh, well. Thanks. It's working now. Andrew.
