Greetings all; I finally managed to get it to reboot w/o hanging at 10 the second mark forever. Somebody finally told me how to disable the objectionable stuff using systemctl in systemd/system. So now a reboot is not another re- install.
Now I'm trying and failing to get my printers to behave, two problems, might be related. 1. The default non-driver for my Brother MFC-J6920DW goes thru the motions of being deleted after sudo'ing, but the deletion is then causing a cups restart, and that apparently restores this non-functional configuration, making 3 configs. And the no-driver version cannot be deleted. I have 2 other brother driver profiles using brothers driver that do work, but in addition to that one I also have a b&w laser, which also shows up twice in the printers list, but: 2. none of these profiles remember the choices made for how its supposed to handle the instant job, you have to go through the whole menu of options for every job you send to hard copy. Telling it to do all jobs sent to that profile in duplex, landscape, and long edge binding in the profile doesn't work, but has to be done in the printer requester (kde5?), per job. All this worked perfectly in stretch, using TDE, not KDE and I'd save a whole forest if I could restore that function in bullseye. Any help/hope? Thanks. Take care & stay well all.
