wt> Wish I could 'really' help but.... I eventually isolated the problem. For some reason, the HPLaserJet drivers and some other "stuff" had been removed. I obtained and installed (with a few "dependency issues") these, foomatic-db-hpijs_1.5-20041013-1_all.deb hpijs_1.7.1-2_i386.deb and printing returned. Thanks for your comments and suggestions! -Kenneth
