brother hl-1440 on usb with CUPS

[Matt Price <matt.price@utoronto.ca>]

Hi folks,

can't seem to get my printer to work on a b&w g3, running a mixed
woody/sid system, using the woody cups packages.  I followed the
instructions for printer installation in the Debian Reference Guide
(http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/reference.en.html),
installed the printer through the CUPS web interface, and verified
that the printer is attached to the usb bus using usbview.  CUPS
thinks it's sending jobs to the printer, but the printer shows no
signs of receiving data.  How would I start to figure this out?


thanks,

matt
