Whatever your problem is I don't think that it has anything to do with the
pdf software. It is likely a permissions problem and is probably fixable by
going to users and groups in System, Administration. Make sure that you are
a member of the printing group. you will need root access to do that.

Thanks for the help. I re-installed CUPS, that did not work, removed it, and
reinstalled it, printer did show up, it was gone from the printers listed, but
had an error message, printer did not exist when I tried to print to it. Went
into System>Administration>Printer, right clicked on my HP printer, noticed a
check mark in front of "shared" but "enable" was *not* checked. Clicked on
enable, check mark appeared and printer is working fine!

I have never seen this addressed but is there a way to back out an
update using update manager? If so maybe back out the last update
too.
