Here's whats in my cupsd.conf. 
# Document directory (DocumentRoot)
#
# The root directory for HTTP documents that are served.
# By default the compiled-in directory.
#
# ex: /usr/share/cups/doc

#DocumentRoot /usr/share/cups/doc

DocumentRoot /usr/share/cups/doc

I changed it to what you have and it's now displaying the Icons, etc. I
don't know if I messed it up or if playing with print manager did.

I did not update from older version. My SuSE 10.0 was a clean installation
to a brand new disk drive.

Its now working and I'm back to my original problem of my Epson CX6600 only
printing from OpenOffice. All other Kde and scribus jobs abort by system.
Ran in debug mode but no errors are reported I can see. I am using the
EPKowa filter. I found a new filter in Gutenprint 5.0rc2 which I have
downloaded but not installed yet. I will try it later this week. Hopefully
after I install it I can use checkinstall to make an RPM. 

Again thanks you have been a big help!!
