Thanks for the reply.
I used your command and it reinstalled ghostscript-esp and gimp-print. The 
cups error log now shows:-
I [08/Dec/2007:11:33:27 +0000] 
Started "/usr/lib64/cups/cgi-bin/printers.cgi" (p                                 
id=8726)
E [08/Dec/2007:11:33:27 +0000] PID 8726 
(/usr/lib64/cups/cgi-bin/printers.cgi) s                                 
topped with status 22!
But when I checked I do not have the directory /usr/lib/cups.
Also if I enter ://localhost:631 in konqueror it used to give error 404 
but now just hangs.
Also kde's printer control centre starts but if I enter administrator mode 
it just hangs.

Just another thought, when I run revdep-rebuild it has started to show 
this error recently:
broken /usr/kde/3.5/lib32/libkdecore.so.4.2.0 (requires  libexpat.so.0)
It then reinstalls  app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-qtlibs-10.0
If I repeat revdep-rebuild It find the same item broken

Could both of these problems be caused by compatibility for amd64?

I am completely lost now help....help....help....please
Paul
