Sorry that didn't solve your problem. Sounds like you might have multiple layers of "problems". If you do a "lsmod" command now and you see these modules loaded, then at least you probably have eliminated one of the possible causes. The next step is to concentrate on your software & config. I can't be of much help in that. I use CUPS here, after many frustrating years of struggling with other print systems with mixed results. FWIW, I never got "printtool" to work for me under Debian. It would configure something, but nothing ever came out of my printer :( If you want to give CUPS a try, holler & I will happily share what I know...
