More info.  lpadmin logs the following errors

	lpadmin -dlp0 -vparallel:/dev/lp0 -mCanon-BJC-610-bjc610a0.upp.ppd -E
		(Canon...ppd is in /usr/share/cups/model (per instructions))

	set_default(3, ipp://localhost/printers/lp0)
	set_default: resource name '/printers/lp0' no good!
 	send_ipp_error(3, 406)
 	Sending error: client-error-not-found

What do I do to get the resource name to be recognized?

I have played with cups some time, i have detected that it do not work if you 
don't have loaded all the modules: parport, parport_pc, lp

Then i have started konquerer with http://localhost:631 and setup my canon 
bjc 4300. I use the gimp-print package as driver. With the driver from 
linux-printing.org (without stp) i don't have success. Don't know why.

Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: setting up cups on gentoo

[Sebastian Werner]

i don't know much about gimp-print:

- it is a try to bring photo-realistic printing to linux
- it is a package of drivers for some popular printers
- based on cups ppd-files

- if you want good photo-printing try turboprint (www.turboprint.de) (german 
;-) and shareware or so but the base package is free available)

Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: setting up cups on gentoo

[Collins Richey]

Making some improvements.

1) I don't understand why, but installation of the gimp-print product
cleared up some of the problem.  After restarting cups and after adding
another printer (same entries except name) with lpadmin, the lpadmin panels
now showed that I had a printer with no defined connection.  One of the
other buttons allowed me to reenter the definitions (the same as before),
and viola! the printer worked.

2) Not totally - the lpadmin panels still think that I have no printers
defined when I select the printers button!

3) I added a printer with a smb://host/name definition (just like on
Sybil), but printing to that destination does not work.

Never, I have to use cups for a network-printer sorry. My local connection 
works... Point one of your list is the same as my experience. I don't know 
why but it works ;-)
