Thank you very much.  I have eliminated the problematic files and directories,
run 'pkg check --shlibs --dependencies --checksums --all', and forced the
install of all reported packages.  The print service now works again.

Still cannot get cups-pdf to work but that is another problem for another day.

Thank you.
