Followup - 22Jan2012

Systems A and B (both 32 bit Ubuntu 11.10) are loaded on external
drives, and are run almost entirely on the HP6600f; a 64 bit computer.
Tested SysA on 2 old (~10 years) and two newer (3 to six year) 32 bit
computers. Cups prop version worked without a hitch on the two newer 32
bit computers. Cups ppa version works on the two older 32 bit
computers; prop version doesn't work. Cups prop version works sometimes
on the 64 bit computer. Seems to me there could be an intermittently
appearing quirk in using the 64 bit computer with 32 bit version of
Ubuntu 11.10 for printing via usb-parallel cable. For info _ the Epson
Stylus Color 880 ink jet(usb-usb cable) is identified, installed and
works without a problem on the same system configuration (32 bit Ubuntu;
64 bit machine).
