Here is what shows on error_log: Listening to ::1:631 on fd 1... Listening to 127.0.0.1:631 on fd 3... Listening to /var/run/cups.sock on fd 4... Resuming new connection processing...

Only error is on access_log: "POST /printers/ HTTP/1.1" 200 112 CUPS-Get-Default client-error-not-found As for your question, the printer is connected to a USB port and configured using the KDE 3.5 printer configuration utility. The same printer prints very well on a older Linux system with a older Gutenprint driver! What am I still missing?
