	Thanks for your reply, Tony. One way or another it helped me find a
solution.  While trying "other options", I realised that the printers I
saw under the Cups system (Firefox localhost:631) were not the same as
those I had from "printconf-gui". Also I installed gimp-print-cups,
although it didn't seem to do much for me in itself.
	I deleted the lot and started again with the cups system, and things
seem to work. So I guess I failed to understand that I was using two
systems of print, or failing to use, more to the point.
	Sorry if this is a bit vague, but perhaps it will help someone else!
Thanks again
