I've gone as far as going through the famous install.osx document on making sure all software is installed, etc. However, when I run a test print, the printer driver reads: ""The process "foomatic-rip" stopped unexpectedly with status 1."

Sorry to be a bother, Michael, but I don't know where to find a var/log/cups/error_log file. I used the Finder but nothing is coming up. I hate to sound out of it but I don't even see a folder called "/var." I found the cups folder but I do not see an error log.
