I have to confess that I have installed SL3 on at least a dozen workstations and servers, and that I can't get printing to work on any of them still.This is what I do (works fine on SL2): Login as root on the workstation Start/settings/printing add printer local (usually appears in the list, eg usb/epsonPMC3700) choose correct driver, etc.print test page ---> job remains processing until removed. No error, nothing in cups error_log.
I had the same problem with Etch. Try printing a regular document from xpdf or oowriter or something. The printing works fine as long as you do not try to print a testpage .. (Remember to check that the printer (and oowriter) is configured to print A4. You use A4, don't you?)

Try via localhost:631 - same resultI have tried 4 different printers that work on SL2 sarge, well supported under linux.What's wrong with me? I'm sure everyone else can print, otherwise I would've seen some messages here, right?hopefully, nigel
