printcap is not used with CUPS, just remove /etc/printcap
what does : lpstat -t
give ?
this should return the list of configured print queues, and if
they are idle and accepting requests.
can you print when you type :
$ lp -dYourPrintQueueName somefile.ps
?
If this works, then probably your graphic environment (e.g. Gnome or KDE)
printing facilities are not properly configured.
If this doesn't work, then this is probably a CUPS misconfiguration.
