Hi, thanks for the suggestions. I fear that I have a stranger (hardware)
issue that made some of my attempts at changing software moot. In
particular /dev/lp0 didn't appear until about 30 minutes after a reboot.
I ended up downgrading cupsys-driver-gutenprint from
4.3.99+cvs20060521-4 to 4.3.99+cvs20060521-2 as this appeared to be the
only CUPS related software recently updated in unstable.
It is probably best to close my reported bug.
Regards,
Arthur Marsh.
