Ah, I took it as an imperative, as in "try this..."  No harm done.

More or less.  One lasting problem that doesn't have to do with 
packages, and is one that I've had up till now already: if anything 
interferes with my USB printer (Dell-branded Lexmark z600 series) [i.e. 
a cancelled print job, power-cycling the printer to get it to eject the 
half-printed page, etc.], only a complete reboot will resurrect it. 
I've tried restarting hotplug and cupsys, but those actions don't have 
any effect.  Obviously I'm just not restarting the right service; do you 
know which process I should be poking at to get it up again?  Rebooting 
is just...annoying!

Thanks again!
