Re: Cups problem

I am having problems with cups on a system I recently set up. I loaded
(apt-get install) cupsys and gs-esp is also loaded. I can open the admin page
at http://localhost:631, I can add printers, I can see the cues but any test
pages are instantly cancelled. Looking at the erro_log file I see a message
of unable to convert file to printable format with a hint of 'check if esp
ghostscript is loaded' ... and it seems to be (I removed and reloaded just to
be sure). The two printers I have added show as being idle and accepting
jobs. I have set up several instances of cups in the past and I don't recall
ever having any trouble with this.
Questions:
I am runnning 'unstable' - is there anything printing related that is broken ?
Is there anything real obvious here that I am forgetting to do ?
I did try all kinds of google searches but haven't come up with anything
useful there.
Egads--I'm not the only one!
I have a HP 5L-Parallel, and run unstable. I can print like crazy from every
program/console--it's only the test page that won't print. When I try to print
the test, the light blinks on the printer a couple of times, but there is no
output. Seeing only the 'check if esp ghostscript is loaded' thing, I
eventually set 'LogLevel debug' in /etc/cups/cups.conf, and think I have it
narrowed to:

Might possibly be something different for you, but there is an amazing
similarity in our problem.
I've gone to so many ends to resolve the matter (re-configured/tweaked/modified
just about everything related to cups/gs-esp that I could try), and _can_ print
production-style, so I just gave up on the test page.
Can't find anything of direct relevance at news.easysw.com/cups.general or
news.easysw.com/cups.bugs, and I still have yet to finalize my
configuration-diagnosis/thoughts for a post there.
Can you print outside of localhost/631?
Print Test Page worked last month (prior install of 3.0r1, upgraded to
unstable)--sure would like to see it, again, just once ;-)
