You are right.  It seems that the problem only comes up at re-boot.  I
have just tried several different programs in varying order, logging in
and out.  It seemed to work.  Then I tried re-booting and the problem
returned. To reiterate:

1) I re-boot; login; check the system-configure-printing gui and
CUPS:631.  My HP psc-1310-series is enabled and default.
2) I open any of four different applications; create a test page of
gobblyguk.
3) I use the print command on the File menu tab.  Check that the HP
psc-1310-series printer is listed and selected. The test page is placed
in the printing queue -- but does not print.
4) Recheck the system-configure-printing gui and CUPS:631 and my printer
is no longer enabled in the system-configure-printing gui.  I re-enable
it and the queue prints.
5) The printer continues to print until I re-boot.

(By the way, If you hear in the news that an older man in Ottawa Canada
mysteriously drowned in his basement under six feet of paper, would you
let the authorities know what I was working on?)
