Thanks for the advice.  I've been busy with other issues and finally
found time to look further into this.

I did find the following in the cupsd.conf and I am wondering if the
SystemGroup is causing my problem as I appear to be able to access my
printer/scanner when logged in as "root" but not as a local user.

MaxLogSize 0
LogLevel info
SystemGroup sys root

Thoughts?
