Though I do see and have installed task-printing-ho when I go to the menues and try to launch it nothing happens.

Gah.  I recently went through this.  Not sure if it is a broken package, but you need to install libqtcore4 to get it working. 

ok it was not installed by defect.

DeBaas, thanks from me, too. I forgot the device URL for setting up in CUPS. I made a sticky note this time.
