I have had my Epson Stylus 680 (usb) set up on this computer before (redhat and mandrake). Having set up a device node as per the USB-printer howto, and set the printer up in CUPS as per the CUPS howto, I send printjobs... but nothing comes out. I'm using the same .upp driver, usb-printer support is compiled into the kernel (2.4.18)...
I can't think of what to check. *highly frustrated at USB* Any thoughts?
TIA

Use the parallel port!
I have an Epson Stylus Photo 750 which works perfectly with Cups. Originally it was plugged into the parallel port, now it's got a DLink ethernet print server plugged into it.
Do your PC's have Via chipsets? I've never had any success with USB and VIA.

Are the jobs appearing in the CUPS printer queue?
I had something like this happen and it went away when I installed gimp-print.
Actually I did a re-install of the latest ghostscript, then gimp-print and then CUPS.
I think it was something to do with the xxx to ps filtering setup.
