If you can help, this would be great.
I am not an expert. I had a similar situation recently. I also was having trouble getting sound working. While working on sound, I made the irrational decision to try using Mate. I tried Mate for a while, but did not purge Xfce. Looking for clues in a different debugging/gui environment can make you notice things that you had not noticed before. Some things that you try can actually make the problem worse. Others give misleading information. Cups likes to remember things that are useless, and wrong. Be careful what you do try. My system is working now, both sound and Cups. The best I can offer is the suspicion that installing task-Mate, brought in some packages that were necessary for both problems, but were not installed by using task-xfce alone. Yes its crazy. YMMV Best regards. -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
