Hi Christian,
what looks your printcap like ?
If you don't get any debug output you probably don't use the local spool
queue but send the job directly to the printer. Try to set
"force_localhost" in the printcap and run 'checkpc -f printcap' to make
sure all the necessary files get created...
hope this helps
