Thanks for those, Peter, but somehow they've made things worse :-( Now instead of slow printing, we get no printing with the error message: An error occurred while retrieving the printer list: Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: host not found. Needless to say this is after Cups is checked to be installed and running. We've tried everything, even a full removal of all cups, foomatic, gutenprint, hplip, hpijs, etc, packages and a rm -rf of all the old config files. The printer auto-detected and installed but nothing works, so now my Dad is even more annoyed :-) I've Googled, searched cooker bugzilla, but no joy except a Debian mailing list discussion about services starting in the wrong order and claiming ports. Any clues anyone? Cheers!
