Thanks for your help, I have this problem and one some more repaired now.

I rather than go through all the gory details, I would like to get a thumb 
nail sketch of may path.
Since may upgrade to Deb unstable my LinNeighborhood and smbclient, etc. was 
not working correctly. So I decided to try down grading samba using Aptitude.
This was a little tricky at first but worked well, bringing up the function of 
accessing our samba server here Not much in the way of dependency snarls for 
samba once I set it on hold after the older version got installed.
I thought of trying some think similar with Cups, but soon aborted that idea. 
Looked bad and was going to take forever, so I dropped that. Then I thought I 
may try to look at KDE since that was going to brake if I down graded Cups.

So I used Aptitude to install the KDE metapackage 4:3.1.1 which had all the 
dependencies needed to install the official KDE package.
A little more printer driver config and I was printing just as good as before.
Think I am getting the knack of the Happy Dedian Workstation, and I like it 
MUCH so far. I am getting so much of my wish list running trouble free(er:)
Even got the latest GnuCash going, with its Small Business functions, tutorial 
etc.
Thanks again.
