I have found the problem.  The '/usr/lib/cups' directory did not have executable permission for other users.  Thanks for your help on this.  Sorry to be a pest, but I have one more problem.  Now that I can create a printer queue, when I try to print to it I get the following error:

# lp -d laser /print_test
lp: Unsupported format 'text/plain'!
