Hi Joel,

I hit the sack last night before you made your last post. Here is the strange thing. My machine at home was 50% of the time having the printers show up. The alst few days they were there. My co-workers machine at the office was 98% of the time the printers were missing. I made a document that I put on his desktop with the instructions for him to start cups in the terminal in case I wasn't here to help him. He has been off the end of last week and this week. I booted his computer 3 times on Saturday, primarily to take off the Ubuntu version of Open Office with the unworking spell checker, and to put on the openoffice.org version with the working spell checker. I DID NOT want him to see another issue with Ubuntu or Linux. But while I was doing his reboots Saturday, I would check the printers, and they were always there. The same is true this morning. I did a cold boot and then 2 reboots and they were theer all there times. I wonder if any of the Ubuntu updates fixed the issue! Especially since over the weekend and early this week I've had no problems with either machine.
