No I used 'david', not root user.

Well, that is your problem.  A normal user isn't generally permitted to
make system wide configuration changes.

Can you tell me how to rectify my mistake and give me root privileges.
I'm just a below average user.

Thanks  david

when you run the system-config-printer tool (which is what you get from
the gnome menus to add a printer) and it asks for authentication, just
type in root's password.

I ran system-config-printer again and got a response this time,printing is now up and running.

Thanks  david
