Cups getting tired

Howdy.
Im having a headache about cups configuration.
Either i'm plain stupid or cups should rather be called cups-beta.
First of all my situation:
Using Debian SID on my workstation and WOODY on my little file,print and
webserver with a canon s400 The printer is detected and OK.
Now im trying to setup cups on the server the packages i got installed for
printing are:
cupsys
cups-driver-gimpprint
libcupsys
cupsys-client
cupsys-pstoraster
cupsomatic-ppd
cupsys-bsd
foomatic-bin
foomatic-db
and all resulting dependancies.
Now to the problems:
Im using http://localhost:631 to configure the printer on the server.
Im choosing "add printer", choose my printer etc. All step by step no big deal
thats the sense of that wizzard, all goes well (until now) then i choose
"configure printer" and set my media size to A4 and choose solid colours as
image type then i click "continue" and the browser (mozilla) says
"transferring data" for the next hours if i dont stop it (so cups interface
just doesnt respond anymore).
Next (after waiting with no success) i choose "printers" again and say "test
printer" and it prints the upper left quarter of the test page over the whole
sheet.
Im not able to get it to work whatever i do it produces just junk.
The next problem is with the client machine (that might be more a subject for
the debian-kde list but i assume some of the people there are reading this
list here too)
In kde's printer manager i added the Canon printer (using karolinas deb's) but
i can't print test pages to the server and i can't remove the configured
printer! the remove button is inactive so everytime i install it again my
collection of non-funktioning printers grows.
If someone knows a solution for this please tell me or let's exchange cups
config files for checking and comparing otherwise im gonna start to learn ten
different programming languages tomorrow and read 150 manuals over the
christmas holidays ;-).
Btw. it worked on another machine (same setup exept using SID instead of
WOODY)
Thanks
Florian
