Did printing work before you "re-adjusted" CUPS? Try using the USB and parallel connections to print. Is there a significant difference? Get yourself a few small PostScript files from different sources. pdf2ps and Firefox are two ways to produce one. Plug the printer into a USB port and check the device in /dev/usb (lp0, lp1?). Send a file directly to the printer with cat <PS_file> > /dev/usb/lp0 How does that go? -- Brian.
