CUPS is driving me crazy.
I first tried to use CUPS last year on Mandrake.

wrong, and the printer would start spewing
out garbage. I would clear the /var/spool/cups
directory, restart cups, and things would be
all right for a little while until soon t

I have been trying to set things up with a DVD on hdc and
a CD-burner on hdd using modules, but without success.
I am using Debian/unstable with kernel 2.4.20 configured in
