Ok, printerdrake was a tool I hadn't used...I had been using kups, and the 
web interface for cups.

Found the printer driver, but there now seem to be issues with being unable 
to load the parport module (as well as trident for sound, but that's another

Time to recompile the kernal.  Is it still necessary to do "make mrproper"
