Thanks very much, all! There is no printer attached to this machine
anymore so I am not sure where this comes from. (there was a printer
attached briefly for which F went and found the drivers to install,
however.) In any case, when does this clear? Is there something I have
to do beyond putting the line in which I have done (a few hours ago)
now.

Best wishes,
