Hi Don Myers and everyone experiencing this problem,

Perhaps you can reboot several times, get to a boot where printers do not show up in System->Administration->Printers.

Then:

1. at terminal do: 'sudo start rc-sysinit' (without quotes). this command should start any processes/services that did not start at boot time. note the time that you executed this command.
2. at terminal do: 'ps aux'
3. look for processes/services that started at the time you executed 'sudo start rc-sysinit'. the 9th column in the output is the time when the processes/service started. if it equals the time that you executed 'sudo start rc-sysinit', this means this process/service(s) did not start like they should at boot.
4. Please post those processes/services here.
