Background: I have been upgrading to new Kubuntu versions on this four or five-year old machine ever since I bought it. I have space for three releases at any one time. The home directory is in its own partition and I have always left it intact. I was suffering several small but infuriating functionality problems that drew zero response from several increasingly plaintive postings. I suspected cruft in my "dot files" (configuration files). I did a "bare metal" reinstall of both the OS and my own user partition, copying back only config directories that contained useful data, as opposed to config settings, e.g. ~/.cddb and ~/.thumbnails. I provide this detail because the previous Lucid Lynx instance on this machine --- as well as the karmic and jaunty releases --- have always printed the CUPS test page uneventfully. It is therefore puzzling to receive this error on the "cleanest" reinstall that I have done in years. OT: the cruft removal exercise does, however, seem to have resolved the other functionality problems.
