Yes, I should have, but I was trying to read other stuff I gleaned
from a search for Linux and printers. Debian printer docs are VERY
confusing and not very clear IMHO.

Sorry about lots of finger-fumbles, but I will do that again to see if
it helps. Unfortunately, I did do that earlier with the manually

fix. I believe it takes some other Debian packages, but we'll see.

Thanks.
