Heh. It works well for me though.

Ever since people have had knowledge of evil they ceased to be pure

The way is straight and narrow and presented before you. It is your
choice whether you want it or not.

|

Ok, getting back on the usual track of d-u ... :-)

|
|
| First, the Printers.conf:
|
| <DefaultPrinter commandlinez53>
| Info Lexmark Z53
| DeviceURI test:/dev/null
This URI can't be entirely right. First, do you have a file named
/usr/lib/cups/backend/test? If not then cups won't understand a
"test://" URI. Secondly, sending data to /dev/null won't put ink on
paper, but I think you realize that :-).

| adds one more error.
You want to add '//' after "usb:". If that doesn't solve the error,
then something isn't right with your USB setup.
| Now, the error_log. I've edited it somewhat, but left a lot in since

This is normal. CUPS starts up, listens to port 631, and allows the
loopback interface to connect.

This looks like cups finds your USB printer device. Is it really
there, though? Does that file exist? If you echo some characters to
it, does the printer react?

This warning from perl is not fatal, but it is a good idea to correct

/etc/locale.gen.

This looks like the printer is configured to use /dev/lp0 as the
device, however the user cups is running as doesn't have permission to
write to it.

gs encountered an error while interpreting the PS code. Either the PS
itself is defective, or gs on your system is. Does the command
$ gv /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps
work for you? If so then I suspect the problem lies in the way
the cupsomatic scripts are modifying the PS before gs sees it.
