I am just trying to get my printer work! I a m trying all these things
not because i fancy fiddling with files, but because i set it up and
configured it properly yet the printer does not print.

I have alredy gained access to the CUPS via interface, I can start the
printer, I can send a test page to be printed... and nothing happens. I
am told it is a paralel port problem, I just do not know what to do next
