Greetings Rafael:
I was just testing different cups drivers for my HP 560c printer. I have a
desktop and a laptop. My desktop driver was S L O W to print. When I set up
my laptop, I picked another driver for this and was amazed at how fast it
was. I decided I would try some of the other drivers that I had available on
the desktop. At least one of those drivers would produce no output at all to
the printer. The print job was not sitting in queue and was reported
completed.
That *may* be the problem with your setup .. If there are other
drivers (maybe more generic?) then try one and see if it works.
