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

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.
Post your /etc/cups/printers.conf please. (Watch out, this file can
contain clear-text passwords if you have configured networked printing.
If this is the case then it is advisable to replace the sensitive data
with generic placeholders before posting.)
As follows (auto-generated, I have made no manual changes)

There is a presumably unrelated second problem: I can send the test page
from the server on port 631 ok (though it doesn't actually print
correctly), but if I send it from the gnome printer admin applet, the
job immediately appears as 'stopped' and I am unable to do anything
further till I have removed it.
Thanks
