I've found it will only work after applying the kind of solutions I used to use in my Windows days: switch printer off and on, log in and out etc. Sounds like a blocked pipe, so to speak.

On my office machine 9.1 upgraded flawlessly, except that I had to reconfigure the printer. At home I had to do an install, probably due to those nvidia drivers I mention earlier (I could probably have solved it by downloading new drivers and hacking a bit, but it was easier to do a clean install, then download the drivers at my leisure). I lost the KPPP icon, but after I'd started it once from the console, it came back the next time I logged in). The installer didn't like my hand-compiled version of lyx 1.3.0 and made me remove it.

[newbie] [slighlty OT] Mozilla junk filtering
Does anyone know of a good guide to getting the junk filtering in Mozilla 1.3 working properly? The Help page hasn't been written yet, and the guide I found on www.mozilla.org was a little cryptic.
