Its works fine with cups accept once it totally failed.
When you print the data light would flash on the printer then "nothing".
The fault in the end was nothing to do with cups it was a "corrupted font" making Ghostscript choke.
Theres a simple method of testing ghostscript to see if a font is causing a problem.
1. Open a Browser pick any web page (nothing too complex) print to file ie print to a postcript file not a pdf, call the file lest say test.ps, you can do this within Firefox or Konqueror.
2. cd /path/to/file then type gs test.ps
If ghostscript has a problem it will now spit out an error.

I'm having serious diffculties with my printer, a parallel port LaserJet-6L. I upgrade to Ubuntu Dapper recently and the printer no longer works. The strange thing is that it worked a couple of weeks ago, using the old set up. Then not locally, but through samba, and now not at all, except of course when we hook up the printer to one of the windows machines. But I can't use it through the network in ubuntu.
