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.
