And just now I reran the cups webadmin tool to set everything it, it looks totally groovy, but when I try to print a test page nothing happens at all. I'm going to apt-get remove --purge all the cups packages and start over, unless anyone can advise a more focussed procedure. I'm really trying to do the minimal setup, I have one computer and one printer. I configure the printer, specifying EPSON, Parallel Port #1, and the foomatic stp-4.0 driver. My goal is basically to be able to print from emacs and abiword with a vague notion of how the output will look...
