Nothing that I have noticed, Kubuntu seems perfect otherwise and have seen no 
other "glitches" of any kind.  Any other program I have installed or 
un-installed has taken only a normal amount of time to complete.  I do plan 
on upgrading to 10,04, the next LTS release, and perhaps that will cure the 
problem but it would be nice to know what happened.  Of course, I also think 
work should continue on making the native cups printer drivers, especially 
for Ubuntu, as complete and as comprehensive as possible.  I got the 
TurboPrint in the firstplace specifically because of the lack of Canon 
drivers which TurboPrint was supposed to remedy.
