Sorry for the delay, but I've had major problems with dependencies,
dselect wanting to remove many of my installed packages, apt wanting
to install stuff for kde which seem to me unnecessary. I'm still
trying to sort out the mess! I've little experience, but it seems
I've been 'sucked in' by so many updated packages that I've lost
any idea of what 'qtcups' will work with what 'cups'. Also, instead
of sticking to apt-get and dpkg and installing one or two packages
at a time, I've tried to be too clever by getting dselect to deal with
many - it just seemed to develop a mind of its own.
I am very grateful for all the trouble you've taken, and I think I
now see what to do. First I must do something about the remaining
33 packages dselect says it has removed (some I never had installed,
some seem broken and some appear to be in an impossible position
so far as re-installation is concerned).
Then I'll start again with cups-1.1.9 and qtcups-2.0-3. (You didn't
mention with which version of cups you were successful).
Many thanks, John.
