Thanks for the reply Mark..I did try this and reinstalled
the cups stuff several times but it still tells me
it cannot find cups when I try to set the printer up...
 This is an install not an upgrade  and several people on the Ubuntu
forum have problems..My next move is to hash the cdrom
from the sourceslist and drag the stuff from the Debian
repos see if that makes a difference...
