> Cups admin finds and configures the printer (identifies it as a Sewoo LK-T12 but its a Partner RP320 and has been using the RP310 driver) with no problems but when i try to print it gets the message (under "State" column) "Stopped, filter failed" on the "Printers" page where is lists the jobs.  I've looked in the error.log but i can;t see anything obvious apart from lots of recurring " Expiring subscriptions... " messages, but then again, i don;t know what i'm looking for.
