Thanks Daniel and Paul,
That did it. Replaced Default with Basic. Just how?? do these things happen?
Of course then the printer wouldn't print and I spent the next half hour
re-installing and configuring the printer again. But all is well now. Hope it
stays that way. I am actually becoming afraid to do upgrades to my system.
Thanks again, you guys and all the Sluggers are great.

PS Daniel the version of cups is:
bob@Easystreet:~> rpm -qa cups
cups-1.2.12-22.17
