i have cups-pstoraster installed. like i said, i can get a test page to print fine from the CUPS web page, just not if it was initialized inside gnome even though i do see the print jobs sitting in the queue for the printer with status "Stopped". Restarting the jobs doesnt help them any either.

i installed everything from ports but my make.conf file is a little bare
