I have to first make sure we are talking about the same Puppy version.
Your issue is with Fossapup64 9.5?
Installed how?
Live on a USB?
Frugal on a USB drive?
You have made a save file or folder and it is being used?
Anything you specifically did before this happened?

@galen :-
Hm. You haven't by any chance installed Chrome from the .deb file off their download page, have you? It's well known for changing ownership permissions on the pup_rw layer, which is where the CUPS stuff lives.
This effectively makes it "invisible" as far as Puppy's concerned, and it no longer "sees" it....
Just a thought, like.
Mike.
