Network Printing - Please put me out of my misery

[gabriel]

I'm not sure what you mean by "try the jetdirect," - I had cupsd
running and I accessed and configured a printer in localhost:631,
however, when the time came to print a test page, it wouldnt, a page
would be printed out that says "*** Unable to open the initial device,
quiting."

Cheers!
