Anyone any idea here? Well, I don't know what I did differently, but once again I zapped the server root partition, recovered it from a known good, minimal backup, brought it up to date and set cups up again. Now when I go to a client box and run the KDE printer setup utility, it shows the printers and even allows me to configure them. I don't touch the cups server on the client, other than to point /etc/cups/client.conf to the server. There are still some oddities, but those can wait now. Thanks to all for their help. -- Rgds Peter
