-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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.
