The above system was working fine before this problem kicked in.

Duh! Printpro... never installed or needed it before.
I've done some more digging... the docs say that root/<pwd> is expected; yet
doing an strace, I see /etc/passwd being read, but no sign of /etc/shadow or any
other call which might indicate it's checking the password... it just hangs
after entering the password.
Tried deleting and re-creating "lp" -- no change. :^(
Anyone have a clue as to why a my printer should "out of the blue" require a
pasword...?

Up to this point, entered "root" and have just finished typing <password>...

That's all she wrote... no more strace activity (mouse, clicks, keys
ignored)... and no printer output.
