Thanks, but this is exactly what's not working. But see my message above, I may have borked my install by trying too hard :). Will try again on a brand new install... Thanks again to all who responded. Will let you know if the situation improves or not.

In Mint and I presume Ubuntu, I discovered that it's actually very straightforward : install printer; share it ('Publish shared printers connected to this system' in System -> Administration -> Printing / Server -> Settings ; make sure Enabled and Shared are checked in the printer's Propert
