KDE4 was extremely unstable around that time Nik. Thats why I found TDE 
at the time. Been running it since R14.0.0 here, and happy 90% of the 
time.  Now it I could just put a similar whupping on cups. I have a very 
capable, widely talented brother MFC-J6920DW, capable of excellent photo 
work on photo paper from the top, tray one. And excellent duplex text 
and gfx on duplex paper from the bottom tray 2.  And it can take 11x17 
tabloid paper from a feed slot in the rear. It also has an 11x17 scanner 
with an adf on top.

But cups will only allow it to have one profile, overwriting any existing 
profile that might exist.

Needless to say I consider this a bug, and on wheezy I had managed to 
make a workaround that worked, but that work around has been blocked now 
in this stretch install, and repeated posts for help on the cups list 
have been ignored. Part of the problem is that I've known Mike for about 
30 years when he was a starving college student and publishing code that 
ran on, or didn't, my favorite legacy computer, with me fixing the or 
didn't's. I don't think Mike liked that... This is now Wednesday, so 
I'll ping that list again.
