Printing the test page does not work, the job is aborted with
error: client-error-not-possible
The most probable reason for this is that some user permissions
are set incorrectly. We have to analyze this step by step.
1) Try to print directly from the command line:
# printf "Hello World \f" > /dev/lpt0
If your printer is connected correctly to your parallel port,
*something* should be printed out.
as user I get "cannot create /dev/lpt0: Permission denied"
That is o.k.. You should try to setup your printer as root first
anyway: you always can solve problems with lower user permissions
later on.
as root I get a blank page
So at least your printer can print the form feed character "\f"
:-)
As Robert Huff suggested in his mail one reason might be wrong
permissions of your spooler directory.
2) If you haven't set it otherwise it should be found at
/var/spool/cups
3) # cd /var/spool/
# ls -l
should show this
drwx--x--- 3 root daemon 1536 26 Apr 19:44 cups
4) Inside /var/spool/cups you should find some files with
names like
c00001
c00002
c00003
and so on, each representing one print job.
Yes, I have that. Changing permissions on /var/spool/cups/ to 777
hasn't changed things.
Each time I try to print a test page from the cups "Printers" page
the job is aborted.
mystified.
O.K. Lets try to have a look at logfiles
Ad the line
LogLevel debug
to your /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf
and restart cups
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd restart
When I print the test page I get this in /var/log/cups/error_log

mine is below. Without knowing anything about this the line that looks
odd to me says:
