Thank you, all. I have reinstalled 19.3 and will wait for 20 to catch-up. This is very disappointing. One of the primary criteria I have with linux is that a distro must establish a network connection and have the ability to connect to available samba servers and CUPS devices with little or no action on my part. Communication is the name of the game.
As things stand right now, Mint 20 only meets the requirement for a network connection. It refuses the work via samba and CUPS is a total loss.
This issue can go away now. Again, my thanks and best wishes!
