Yes Craig we have visited a cups problem a month or so ago,
Cups worked well until a large update down loaded then printing
stopped.

[david at reddwarf ~]$ sudo ps aux|grep cups
david     7774  0.0  0.0   4044   676 pts/1    S+   09:19   0:00 grep cups
[david at reddwarf ~]$

I looked through 'ps aux' and didn't find anything (not that means anything)
of a cups child.
