OK. We all know that the queue must be set to /dev/null . The detail that got me working was, in cups. You MUST modify the cupsd.conf file FileDevice: parameter. By default cups disables the file:/dev/null use. Set the parameter to "FileDevice Yes" . Occasionally my printer will stop working again. All i have to do is unplug and replug in the usb cable, "/dev/init.d/cupsys restart", and start the printer again. Not too much trouble. Wish this damn printer came with an lpt port.
