If you want to verify you have a properly running Cups before you do this, use the web interface (http://localhost:631) to print a test page. It ought to work.

Hey Peter,
I tried the web interface, and that's what's not printing test pages. Do I need to move these execs before I try to print a test page?
Not so good - I generally find this works even when the /usr/bin binaries are still there.
Also, CUPS seems to have munged up my other printer installations pretty badly, and I don't know what to do to get them back.
Probably because it overwrites /etc/printcap
I guess I'd rather get
CUPS working right anyways.
Have you tried testing cups by using the cups binaries on the command line specifying the full path?
#/usr/local/bin/lpr /etc/hosts
should print. If it doesn't, you might get a useful error message.
Peter.
Thanks!
