Thanks for that, and it rhymes with a lot of what I have read re Canon printers. I'm not a new LL user, more a slow learner...
I have had an XP Virtual Box but really wanted to leave that hassle behind, and the printer doesn't deserve to die.
On the practical front, despite the same drivers installed, and the same version of system-config-printer, the printer properties vary from the 2.4 and 2.8 systems. On the former, which works, I am only offered Print Test Page under the Tests and Maintenance page of properties, on the 2.8 machine I am offered Test Page, Self-Test Page and Clean Print Heads.
Does this provide a hint as to what kind of underlying difference between the systems could be stopping the printing?
