I would thoroughly purge the whole lot, reinstall CUPS using
apt/apt-get/aptitude whatever. Install the driver. All the bits. (I seem
to remember that there are at least two) And configure properly from scratch
using the http://localhost:631 interface, and nothing else. Just this once,
forget the command line. Let CUPS do its stuff *without* *interference*.
You might be pleasantly surprised.
