HMMM, 18 replies to my original thread and all with a different 
subject. Kevin, PLEASE start a new thread for new subjects.

I'm still at a loss to get my printer working. Since my previous post, 
I've re-emerged foomatic as well. A reboot gave the same child error 
as before (see below) but now, zapping cupsd and then starting it and 
restarting it run without error. Trying to access cups at MRK:631 now  
gives me:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access the resource on this server.

This seems as though it might hold the key but I have no idea where to 
look.

I also get the same errors as before if I try the kde rout to 
configure a printer.
