cups yet again

[graham <graham@theseamans.net>]

Yet another cups problem (the one program which makes me feel like I do 
when running windows - like putting a foot through the computer).

I have a standard printer with a reliable driver (Brother HL5040). It 
was working using the parallel port on my old PC. Said PC died, replaced 
it with a new one, installed 64bit lenny. Configured cups for printer, 
all appears ok (ie. ppd file ok, printer status recognized etc). On 
printing anything at all (including the test page) all I get is what 
appears to be misinterpreted postscript. One line of gibberish per page, 
followed by a page feed. Feels like I've hit a time warp and ended up in 
1990.

Any ideas? Logs are quiet. cupsd.conf refers to a 
/var/run/cups/printcap, which doesn't exist, but says it will be created 
automatically (there's no /etc/printcap)

Have uninstalled and reinstalled cupsys, no change.

Thanks
Graham
