Just am not getting this and I am over tired. Thought I had it fixed, but was
wrong.
When it was printing the ipp functions would NOT work.
Now I got all that going, but I get the error below, yet gs and gs-esp work
fine to look at the tiger.ps file. (Thats the gs-esp 7.05.6-2 that is used
instead of cupsys-pstorastor)
When I turn up the error to debug I do NOT get any more usefull info.
How do you Debian (unstable) linux guru's out there do YOUR cups printing ?

I [30/May/2003:02:41:09 -0600] Hint: Do you have ESP Ghostscript installed?
I [30/May/2003:02:41:09 -0600] Hint: Try setting the LogLevel to "debug".
