Has anyone got a clue as to where I should look?


Perhaps:
sudo aptitude purge cups
#check for any cups packages left and purge them if any are found
sudo aptitude search cups~i

#Search your user's home folder for any remaining cups settings

sudo aptitude clean
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install cups


Thank you Andrew!!!!!

After deleting the cups packages and running update/locate to see if there were any cups files around, I found 2 .cups dirs. One on /root and one on ~user. In those dir,s there was a client.conf file which had the Old print server address. This box was built, by a vendor, in 2006 and it must have been there all this time. They specialized in Red Hat
so maybe that is a RH thingy.

I rgreped both of those dirs and never had that directory come up.

Thanks for the suggestion to remove the cups packages otherwise I would still be pulling my hair out.

Many Thanks a Best Regards

Wayne
