debian and cups

[shortfella]

even as root cups won't print, please help!!

it is the only printer demon running.

I have checked the log file for cups and it looks like this

I [05/Apr/2001:10:23:16 -0500] Job 21 queued on 'epson' by 'root'.

any ideas?

printing straight the port works also.

I've fixed that, it was a missing library file.

The problem is now that it only prints **** out over many pages, even for a simple text document.

Anyone???
