In fact, cups is working fine, as I can print to the other printers. Usually, in the past, I have managed to restart a printer using the localhost:631 interface. Once, long ago, I had a situation very much like the current one, and the only way I could resolve it was to remove that printer and re-install. I had hoped that either my understanding had improved since then or the available tools were better - or both. It seems not. Anne
