The files are just text files so there must be something different.  The most common
source of problems is spaces and special characters.  In the ink desc file, there
can't be any spaces before or after the "=" sign.  If you are still puzzled about it
email me the two files and I'll look at them.

This is a strange issue.  There is an intermittent bug in PrintCenter and I'm not
sure exactly when or where this "missing settings" comes up -- I think it bases
the categories on the printer it first sees so that's why I suggest making it the
default printer.  If it still refuses to show the settings, there is a browser based
interface to the printer system.  Use  http://localhost:631  as the URL in your
browser, go to Manage Printers, then Configure Printer and then select the
default settings.
