Hi Florian, lp0 doesn't seem to be the problem this time:

ii cupsys 1.2.2-2
stoffel(a)athlon:~$ ls -la /dev/lp*
crw-rw---- 1 lp lp 6, 0 2006-09-07 08:09 /dev/lp0
stoffel(a)athlon:~$ lsof -w | grep /dev/lp

by the way, sorry for posting this to debian-kde, I mistakenly hit the wrong addreess from my web mailer...

I've included the last few lines of cups error_log: maybe that will help getting to the bottom of this.

Thanks,

Chris
