@ Till Kamppeter Sorry Till, been away having started to test by re booting many times. Tried booting the installation on return and it will not boot: get quick purple splash screen, then the screen goes blank and flickers. (A Mepis install on the same drive boots ok).
Put a fresh install into another (Brand New) external disk and CUPS has been starting ok for the last 3 days. Was going to write a post saying the fresh install has sorted the problem...... but it has not.... CUPS failed to load on that very boot! I will try and spend some time today (between World Cup Matches :) ) re booting and collecting text files as you directed.
