Bug Description

This is a Dell C1765nfw-MFP Pinter; on 198.168.0.7:9100 that had been working for years, However cups was update approximately July 14, 2048, and now the printer will not work. All other systems also running Ubuntu-Gnome 14.04.5-LTS DO connect and print, but then the 'Cups' has not been updated on those boxes! On my box that won't print it pings just fine, so I don't suspect a connection problem.

All 'Cups' and associated files have been reinstalled via synaptic. The correct driver is 'Dell C1765 Foomatic/foo2hbpl2 (recommended)'. I have also reinstalled the driver from http://foo2hbpl.rkkda.com/ that works best, but alas the even the foomatic via synaptic has the same error. I can't seem to select the older version in synaptic with Force version either as it seems to be not available. The newer version 1.8 foomatic driver from foo2hbpl.rkkda.com can't be compiled anymore as now since the updates for 'gc++' is no longer working. I can't get past the 'Make' command anymore!
Please don't suggest Distribution upgrade as this was already tried and further I don't like it for the Gnome flashback Metacity desktop. Perhaps on a newer Computer it would be OK, but for this box anything above 14.04 had too much abandoned to be useful to me. I have six HDD so trying the newer Distributions was not hard.

Anyway the log file as fallows:
troubleshoot.txt attached

I looked at this log for a long time but it is beyond my scope
I just want to print again
Thanks James Niland
