Yup. :-)
That's all hunky dory and it still doesnt work, it is broken. Oh by the way, I
am not printing to the parallel port, this is via eth0 -- it is a remote
printer (and is therefore not supported.)
Printtool does print test pages so that is not the problem. The problem is that
unless an application is able to call the remote printer's shortname
specifically I can't use it -- printtool does this and so does printing from the
command line. Virtually all applications call lpr or lpd and these are what do
not work, for example KDE's email client calls the shortname and prints fine.

PS. I like your signature file ;-)
