Dear All,
Until I installed Etch and a 2.6.12 kernel I had a perfectly good printing
setup on Sarge with a 2.4.x kernel. I remember using the Gnome CUPS tool and
finding drivers for my Brother printer as well as an HP printer both of which
are network printers. During my trial and error I could delete printers.
Now it's all so utterly primitive. I cannot delete any printer I set up, there
are no Brother drivers available, I cannot even get a test page through. What
has happened to CUPS? Using http://localhost:631/ is also horribly broken. Has
anyone recent experience of a good tutorial or HOW-TO that they would care to
recommend?
One thing that strikes me is that I seem, even as root, to be short of rights
to control and configure my printers. Are there some pre-conditions I may have
failed to meet?

It's quite natural that even as root you can NOT (with default set up)
network printers. You can set up printers only on the computer that is
directly attached to your computer. The default settings of debian find
all network printers for me automatically.
Maybe you should just purge cups (ie. also delete config settings) and
all packages depending on it and reinstalling them afterwards.
Hope that helps,
Johannes
