I have removed ulpt from the kernel, but in this case it shouldn't 
matter much.  The printer is not directly attached to the computer, it 
is reached via (WiFi) network.  I'm oretty sure that bi-directional 
communications is working fine, since Cups (or something) is able to 
figure out and display the printer type.  :)

Cups-1.5 used to work just fine.  I wanted (want desparately) to update 
so I can get rid of the many annoying /etc/security nags about all the 
security vulnerabilities!  :)

/var/log/cups/access_log doesn't have much in it, and page_log is 
totally empty.  The error log generates the following text _after_ I 
manually Cancel Printing a hung job:

E [19/Jun/2015:09:55:03 +0800] [Job 32] The printer is not responding.


How do I change the debug level?
