Denis, Do you by any chance have an HP printer? Is it networked? I ran into a similar situation a while ago, and had to install the hp linux printer software to get the printer to work with cups. So, if you have an hp printer on your network, then I may be able to help. If not, then I am quite useless to you...;)
