Yes, I did mean 2fs not sfs I'll rename the one on the HD to something else. I'm still not sure whether the problem lies with the 2fs files or other files on the HD. If it's just the 2fs file then replacing it would be OK. Is it possible that the problem lies with other files on the HD?
I tried copying the "clean" 2fs to the HD after a pfix-ram but it made no difference. I'm not sure I copied it to the right location - puppy diidn't seem to have any 2fs on the HD and I copied it to /root. On boot it says that it is copying /puppy528/lupusave.2fs.

If something goes wrong with a frugal install, the problem must be in the save file. The core Puppy files never change.

I found the folder on the HD and using pfix=ram made the swap. I now have a frugal installation where the printing works off a WinXP controlled printer. I can't thank you enough for your patience, expertise and help. I really am most grateful. I'll mark this thread as "Solved"
