Thank thank thank thank you!!!

I've been trying two weeks to solve my problem with Epson Stylus C42UX and cups on my Debian "Woody".
Like many others, my server replied client-error-not-possible when I tried to submit a job. Actually, the problem was that I compiled and installed gimp-print before cups, and without the --with-cups option.
Now all work fine, thank you very much.

P.S. sorry for my poor english.
