Hi. Just for reference and for the interest of those curious about OSX Lion Server, Here's what Apple says about Cups and printer services for the 10.7 Lion Server:
<SNIP> Print service is no longer supported in Server Admin. You must use System Preferences > Print & Scan to add printers or control print jobs. For more advanced print service settings you can use the web interface of CUPS at http://localhost:631/admin to manage printer sharing. You can find documentation for CUPS at http://localhost:631/help. For printers connected to the server through USB, the queues are created by CUPS when the printers are plugged in and turned on. However, for network printers, add the printers using System Preferences > Print & Scan (for all printer types) or the CUPS web interface. When you set up printer sharing in the Print & Scan pane of System Preferences or in CUPS, you cannot configure specific protocols on which the printer is to be shared. The printer is shared over all protocols. In CUPS the description is equivalent to the printer sharing name and is set using the web interface at http://localhost:631/admin. See instructions below. CUPS classes is the equivalent to printer pools. For instructions on setting up classes, see CUPS help at http://localhost:631/help </SNIP> So as you can see, Apple has now done away with its old printer service totally. That's going to create fun and games for me when I come to upgrade our work services. They rely very very heavily on printer services in the office and I'm quaking in my boots!
