nope, ghostscript didn't seem to be the problem. I finally got so sick of being unable to print that I just reconfigured CUPS on my Mac OS X laptop so I could add the printer manually. Now it works fine.

When I get a few things done around here today I'll try to get the shared printer working again and, if I do fix it, I will post what I did, and how.

For now, if you have a Mac OS X client and you want a cupsd.conf that will allow you to manually add printers via the web interface (http://127.0.0.1:631) make a backup copy of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf then put the following in a brand new emtpy /etc/cups/cupds.conf then restart cups or reboot:

ServerName 127.0.0.1
LogLevel info
MaxCopies 10000
ConfigFilePerm 0644
Listen 127.0.0.1:631
BrowseShortNames No

Are you sure you have ghostscript installed?  I had a problem where I
couldn't print to a deskjet 500 printer and it turned out I didn't have
ghostscript installed to convert from postscript to pcl.  Look for the
cups logs (/var/log/cups...[something]) and check.  (And let us know
what you find out.)

Cheers,

Okay. I have CUPS almost configured properly. I have sharing on and
it seems to be working properly (that is I can see the printer, shared
from my Linux server, on my Mac clients). Problem is I cannot actually
print to the printer. I've even turned on the logging to debug2 and I
don't see any errors in the log files on the server. All I do see are
my jobs "aborted" by the server.


The printer is a USB attached LaserJet 1200 using the Foomatic print
driver.

Below is my /etc/cups/cups.conf from my server (all the lines that are
uncommented or are not blank).  Where am I going wrong?  I'm too tired
at this point to see what must be an obvious error:

ErrorLog syslog

Ugh.  Gracias.
