Hello,
A couple of months ago I moved & had new internet service installed (AT&T). Everything worked fine, except my printer. Thinking it was probably an ISP-related issue, I posted for help on a communications site, and one of the things I was told to do was to install hplip, which I did. That didn't resolve the issue, AND it caused me to lose access to System Settings. Can't get there from the taskbar, and can't get there thru the start menu. The menu item is there, just won't boot.
What can I do to regain access to my System Settings?

Re: lost access to System Settings
"no module named PIL"
I've never timeshifted before, but I'm assuming I would lose everything after that date. I dragged my heels on this too long.
