CUPS - SOLVED

The solution was simple and direct. I'm sorry I did not realize it and had to burden you with all my questions....

Rename the existing bad configuration file.
Reinstall CUPS from Synaptic.

Works beautifully. Installed HP 1012, which I had not been able to do, with no problems.

NAME
cups-browsed - A daemon for browsing the Bonjour broadcasts of shared, remote CUPS printers SYNOPSIS
cups-browsed [-v | -d | --debug] DESCRIPTION
cups-browsed has three independently switchable functions: 1. Browse Bonjour broadcasts of remote printers and create/remove local raw queues pointing to these printers. 2. Browse CUPS broadcasts of remote printers and create/remove local raw queues pointing to these printers. 3. Broadcast local queues with the CUPS protocol. OPTIONS
-v, -d, --debug Debug mode FILES
/etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf NOTES
Please take references to cups 1.6.x to include newer versions. Similarily, cups 1.5.x is intended to encompass older versions too. In environments with only cups 1.6.x servers and clients (plus cups-browsed on either server or client or both) the function described in 1. enables the automatic discovery of remote queues and their display in printing dialogues of applications and with command line tools. The facility provided by 3. means that servers running cups 1.6.x plus cups-browsed can broadcast their local queues so that clients with cups 1.5.x get these queues automatically available. The outcome of 2. is that clients running cups 1.6.x plus cups-browsed can use the CUPS broadcasts from servers with cups 1.5.x. As with browsing of Bonjour broadcasts, the created local raw queues are available to appli- cations and command line tools. SEE ALSO
