In reply to myself,

Been doing some debugging;

The kupsdconf utility was not writing to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. Almost
everything was remmed out including ServerName etc. After some manual
editing I have partial success.

Problem: If I try to print from Wordperfect, it issues a command like:
lpr -Pdeskjet520 /tmp/_pp_0000005957_8 (as listed from ps -aux)

This kills the cups daemon instantly. The cups log ends with:
cupsd[5643]: REQUEST localhost - - "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 77
and a ps -aux shows the daemon as gone. No further errors are logged (and
I'm in debug mode).

What does work is printing from Nedit. It issues a:
lpr -J "file.name" , although what shows up with ps -aux is:
parallel:/dev/lp0 6 sundance file.menu 1
perl /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic 6 sundance file.menu 1
etc.

So, does anybody have Wordperfect printing or any idea what might be
causing it to kill cupsd?

Thanks
Dave.
