ESP Ghostscript in stalled, but still says 'Hint: Do you...'

I have a newly installed Gentoo Linux - kernel 2.6.11. I installed CUPS 1.1.23-r1, gimp-print 4.2.7 and ESP Ghostscript 7.07.1-r8. My printer is an Epson Stylus C62, which worked fine before, on older HW running is much the same setup on Mandrake. I used the web interface to add this printer to CUPS, and I could see the Epson C62 listed in the proper place (A large number of times - why is that, BTW?).

But - when I try to print, nothing happens. My error_log gets the following chunk of lines added:

I tried to run 'strace -ff' on cupsd, but I can't see anywhere that it even tries to find the ghostscripts program in any form. So where do I go from here? Just give up?
