Thanks very much for the help Roger.

My ps|grep results almost mirror yours. Only my driver line is different
- showing blazer.

But I am still seeing:

   Broadcast Message from nut at loca
         (somewhere) at 15:25 ...

   Communications with UPS belkinusb at localhost lost


   Broadcast Message from nut at loca
         (somewhere) at 15:25 ...

   UPS belkinusb at localhost is unavailable

This makes me think something remains broken. But

   upsc belkinusb

right after this gets results.

Any tips are appreciated. Cheers
