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.

Try via localhost:631 - same result

I 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?
try to increase the LogLevel in cupsd.conf.  ?
personaly i have never ever used a local printer, only network attached printers. Since i dont want any users on the server room where tjener is located.
