New Cups printer problem

["Thomas H. George,,," <georgeacct@spininternet.com>]

Printer is an HP DeckJet 940C
Driver is Foomatic-hpijs downloaded from www.linuxprinting.org

A print test from localhost:631 or from kde prints nothing.

cat printtest.txt > /dev/lp0 prints the simple text file though it must 
be manually ejected.

less /var/log/cups/error_log ends in multiple lines of 
"get-printer-attrs: resource name '/printers/Mail PDF' no good!"

Background:  System is Woody with 2.4.18 kernel.
dpkg -l |grep cups and dpkg -l |grep foomatic show  the following 
packages installed (ii):

   cupsomatic-ppd
   cupsys
   cupsys-bsd
   cupsys-client
   cupsys-pstoraster
   kdelibs3-cups
   libcupsys2
   libcupsys2-dev
   foomatic-bin
   foomatic-db

As usual, I seem to have overlooked something, but what?
