I went the whole 9 yards, and purged all of them along with the
packages which depended on them. Reinstallation, etc. Same problems
as before (wrong ID, etc.). Installed printconf, which nicely found
the LaserJet, but it still doesn't print.
The only error I have found in the error log that seemed to be real was
the constant comment about not being able to find pscript5.dll. This
doesn't exist in any package.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I am installing cups-pdf as well.
