Clarification - There are three Ubuntu 11.10 systems involved in the 
testing.

System A - (w8-FJ463AAR-ABA-a6528p); installed on an external hard 
drive; running on an HP6600 machine; first to be involved, and the only 
system to have the cups ppa version installed prior to the proposed version.
System B - (w8u-iomega); installed on a second external hard drive; also 
running on the same HP6600 machine as System A.
System C - (w8-Aspire-5000; a laptop); installed on the internal hard 
drive along with XP and Linux Mint.

Testing 19Jan2012
1.  System B (cups proposed installed); requested info collected in file 
named "SysB_cups1.5.0-8ub7_prop.txt".
2.  Attempted to revert System B to cups ppa version without success; 
documented in file 91072_SysB_Revert.txt.
3.  System C (cups proposed installed); requested info collected in file 
named "SysC_cups1.5.0-8ub7_prop.txt".
4.  Attempted to revert System C without to cups ppa version success; 
documented in file 91072_SysC_Revert.txt.
5.  System A (cups ppa version) printing tested; printed successfully.  
Requested info collected in file named "SysA_cups1.5.0-8ub7_ppa.txt".  
Installed cups proposed version through Update Manager.  Attempted to 
print test file without success.  Requested info collected in file named 
"SysA_cups1.5.0-8ub7_prop.txt".
6.  Some screen shots collect along the way are attached.

Comment - If I can determine how to get the ppa version installed on 
Systems B and C I will collect and submit the requested data.  These 
installations are not currently involved in critical operations so can 
tolerate some abuse by a mostly novice.
