I am working on this as best I can.  I went into the CUPS printer admin 
through Konqueror (localhost.localdomain:631) and the message that came up 
when I tried to print from there was Error: client-error-not-possible

What does this mean?  KPrint and CUPS have always worked flawlessly until now.  
I will gladly send a debug report or log file if someone can point me in the 
right direction for doing that.

Thanks for any and all help,
Gail
