Hi, Stephen.  Printing from kde does not see the printers any longer.  
All I'm offered is lp and the usual kde virtual printers.  I used to 
see all four instances of the networked printer, but now I can only see 
them with lpstat -v

/etc/cups/cupsd.conf - isn't that the server config file?  I know there 
is no problem there because it serves this and two other boxes and 
works fine.  It's just the debian laptop that is having problems.

Of course since I'm new to debian I could have screwed something up, but 
I can't see that anything I've done should have affected this.
