Backup /etc/cups first.

   apt-get purge cups

followed by

   apt-get --purge autoremove

Unless you have set up your system not to, you'll get the recommended
packages with

   apt-get install cups

Installing the printer is done from Administration at

   http://localhost:631

There is a CUPS+Gutenprint driver for your Oki, or you could try one of
those under Generic. I'm not a great believer in reinstalling as a cure
for problems, so you could try this last step first.

Brian -

Thanks.

I tried purging and reinstalling.  No luck.

If this helps...

When I restart the computer, the last job I sent to the printer will print.
