[gentoo-user] cups does not print

[arnuld]

i enabled all the printing options as described in Gentoo Printing How to Wiki:

i have a parallel-port EPSON Dot Matrix LX-300+ printer and i printed
thousands of pages in Arch Linux and Fedora using that printer without
any single trouble. in Gentoo i am unable to make it print i did all
these:

1.) compiled with the options described in Gentoo Printing Wiki
(http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml ):

Device Drivers -->
<*> Parallel port support
<*> PC-style hardware

Device Drivers -->
Character Devices -->
<*> Parallel printer support
[*] IEEE 1284 transfer modes

(NOTICE: last option, IEEE...., was not present in the latest kernel i
am using: 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 BUt some other option was there and i
selected that, it was similar to the one)

2.) did "emerge cups"
3.) opened "localhost:631" in Firefox and created a printer, using the
same drivers i used on other distros: Generic -> IBMpro generic driver

3.) i can see the printing JOBS in "localhost:631" but those JOBS do
NOT get printed.

what is the trouble ?
