I have reinstalled CUPS but the problem still remains. I can get my 
Samsung colour laser printer to work through the usb port but not yhe 
Kyocera FS1010.  I am using 12.04 ubuntu.

By the way even when connected to the windows box as a shared printer 
the ubuntu box cannot use the Kyocera.
Any suggestions welcome.
