 Do we have any cups heavyweights in the group?

Used to be 'in my cups champion' (bottle scotch per day) will this do ??
I had the same problem with an Epson 760 on install of WS 3.1, is this what 
you have ?? It was fixed on the install of kde 2.2 and Cups 1.1.10, sorry but 
no idea which one fixed it.

 I'm trying to setup my printer (BJC-610) on my new jbl 2.2 system.
 All the software and the necessary ppd files, etc. are present.
 I've used the http://admin:631 software to setup the printer and
 the printer shows defined for /dev/lp0 with the correct stuff for
 BJC-610 and printer is 'Idle, accepting jobs'.

 1) When I try the print test page function, I get

 I [25/Aug/2001:21:23:26 +0700] Started filter
 /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops (PID 1038) for job 6.
 I [25/Aug/2001:21:23:26 +0700] Started filter
 /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic (PID 1039) for job 6.
 I [25/Aug/2001:21:23:26 +0700] Started backend
 /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel (PID 1040) for job 6.
 E [25/Aug/2001:21:23:31 +0700] PID 1039 stopped with status 32!

 Any idea about error 32 ?

 2) /dev/lp0 is working and the parport, etc., modules are loaded.
 If I cat file  /dev/lp0, it prints.

 3) This system is using xinetd, and the .conf files appear to have
 the correct data for the LPD to CUPS interface that allows you to
 uese lpr, lpq etc.  But this is not working, either.

 Any help will be appreciated.

Well, a little sleuthing never hurts.  It appears that there is 
supposed to be a daemon that forwards cups requests vi lpr, lpq, 
etc. started out of inted/xinetd, but I can't seem to get xinetd 
going.  

The last time I successfully used cups was on Mandrake 7.2, and 
even then Mandrake distoryed it on the very next upgrade.  All was 
magic 'cat xxx | lpr' worked.  Must have had the magic daemon.

Meanwhile, I've discovered the existence of /usr/bin/lpr-cups ...,
and these work.  Still don't have a clue why the cups 
print-test-page function fails.
