CUPS uses the network server, AFAIK. > Hope this helps! ;-) Thanks Ron, I didn't realise that CUPS used the network server - set it to start on boot (in MCC), rebooted and voila my printer connects to CUPS automagically again! I had turned the network thingy off thinking that since I only have a single PC (i.e. no LAN) that it would be a security risk when connected to the net. Anyway, many thanks!
