Hello Brian
I did several commands you gave me with these results:
chas at Charles-PC:~$ ls -l /etc/cups/ppd/total 64-rw-r----- 1 root lp
17248 Oct 15 16:11 Deskjet_1510_1804.ppd-rw-r----- 1 root lp 17248 Oct
15 15:30 HP-Deskjet-1510-series.ppd-rw-r----- 1 root lp 22858 Oct 15

behfile cups-brf:/network ippnetwork httpsnetwork ippsnetwork

smbchas at Charles-PC:~$ lpinfo -m | grep

deskjet_1510_series.ppd HP Deskjet 1510 Series, hpcups
3.17.10drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-deskjet_1510_series.ppd HP Deskjet 1510
Series, hpcups 3.17.10chas at Charles-PC:~$ 
So if that looks OK to you, I will go on with your commands:

>  lp -d test /etc/nsswitch.conf

Thanks again for your knowledge. It is way beyond my expertise.
