OK! I am either stubborn or stupid (maybe both), but after a 4th cups
uninstall + reinstall, I was able get into cups administration. Still
not able to print, but a different error message (postscript error).
Checked a test ps file with ghostview and got the following error:
"CRIT: rangecheck in get Operand stack:
/usr/local/share/fonts/marlett.ttf"
Deleted the font file, updated ghostscript configuration and all
printers now working perfectly.

I now realize the original printing problem started after I added some
fonts from the Windows partition.

Thanks to all who offered advice.

Dave
