As a result of my printer breaking down catastrophically, I have come

That describs my current situation perfectly. Here's the situation:

3) /usr/share/cups/model/Lexmark/Lexmark-Z53-lexmarkinkjet-ppd.ppd as

Fixed it by upgrading to testing (CUPS 1.1.15). (in case anyone has

for reasons that I odn't understand, kde (v. 2, under woody) has
stopped saving the options I choose in the Control Center. I thought
I'd hu8nt around in the configuration files to see if I could save
them by hand, or figure out if there's some kind of permissions file,

just bought a nice big hard drive so I have lots of space, and thought

machine. In fact, more specifically, here is my plan:
