File doesn't exist. Tried copying it over from backup I made prior to
uninstall and reinstall, set permissions to root -rw-r---- but still no joy.

No, reformat and reinstall. Have reinstated a few personal preferences
to /home from backup.

As mentioned in my original post "I have tried uninstalling cups,
deleting previous cups configurations and reinstalling to no avail."
(twice in fact). I had previously searched the SDB, but found nothing
there which helped resolve this issue.

Thanks for trying to help Joe, but it looks like I am am going to have
to do things the Windows way and scrape the hdd to start all over again.
