I have an Epson R380 setup in CUPS using the Gutenprint driver:
	Description: EPSON USB2.0 MFP(Hi-Speed)
Location: Local Printer
Printer Driver: Epson Stylus Photo R380 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.2


my concerns are:
1. /var/log/lpr.log show this:
 more lpr.log
Nov 21 05:42:29 paulandcilla lpd[11629]: /dev/lp0: No such file or directory
Nov 21 05:43:30 paulandcilla lpd[11702]: /dev/lp0: No such file or directory


and I have lpr installed. Not sure if I need it or want it.

2. I have problems printing from SOME web sites, especially when they are PDF 
files, it tries to use the lpr printer, and goes nowhere. Sorry, I don't have 
a good example handy..

I have these installed:
ii  kpdf                                                    4:3.5.9-3+lenny2  
ii  adobe-flashplugin                                       10.0.32.18-1                        
Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10
ii  adobereader-enu                                         8.1.1                               
Adobe Reader allows you to view navigate and print PDF files.
