@Till: It's possible that I turned printer sharing on then off (this
machine is new, and I do not recall doing it). I have never touched

in order to use a printer.
Is it possible that you have used a printer setup tool, like system-
config-printer or the printer part of the System Settings, to turn on or
off sharing of local printers, debug logging, or similar stuff? This
also modifies configuration files. The automatic bug reporting system,
