I haven't done that yet, and don't think I need to!  Read on.

And that was the key!  I grabbed and installed 1.21rc1, and I think 
its all working.  I did a "kcmshell printmgr" from the cli, and it 
didn't crash, and it printed the cups test page to lp2 without any 
hiccups.  Amazing, who would have thought it was a cups problem all 
along?  I sure didn't.

Anyway, many thanks for getting me off of TDC and fixing it.

Now, I'm down to one complaint re:kde.  And this one comes and goes, 
often several times while I'm replying to the same message.  The key 
repeat goes from the normal 10 per second down to once every 2 
seconds, and it stacks up in the buffer, keeping the cursor moving 
long after I've up stroked the appropriate arrow key.  Its often far 
faster to grab the mouse and click where I want the cursor to be than 
to run it backwards 25 spaces to fix one of my fat fingered typu's.
