Martin - that's correct. Quickest way to clarify would be to check the "AddPrinter dialogue" screenshots I previously attached, but:

In Breezy, when I selected "Add a printer", my LaserJet-6p was automatically identified under "Use a detected printer". In Dapper, the same action yields "no printer detected" - I have to manually select the port (LPT #1). Then, the driver selection proceeds the same as under Breezy.

One other note - gnome-cups-manager is VERY slow. I just opened it and selected "Properties" for my default printer and it took c. 30 seconds to bring up the properties dialogue. I'd thought it sluggish before but this is a new level of "slow". Don't know if it's related or not...
