[ILUG] FC5 - printer

[ILUG] FC5 - printer

Hi all,
I am looking after a machine for a friend with
FC5 installed on it.
He had a HP printer on it that worked fine but 
was very old and so got a Canon PIXMA MP160
without asking me first to check for drivers.
It does not have drivers under CUPS so I got 
Turboprint and had him set it up.
It worked fine but was not the default printer 
and so he tried to change it under "Administration->printing"
but somehow ended up with a generic option and no access
to any of the other printers.
The Canon shows up as tp0.
I don't have a machine with FC5 on it to see what he is seeing,
Can anyone tell me what he needs to changed to either get back
to where he was or get the Canon setup as the Default.

Regards
Philip
