[PLUG] Anyone use cups?


Another question relating to my use of Mandrake Single Network Firewall
7.2 as a dialup gateway:

I would like to use it as a print server as well.  I have installed
cups from the Mandrake ftp site (version 1.1.7-2.2mdk, which was
listed as the update for Mandrake 7.2).
The printer works, for example:
ls -l > /dev/lp0
prints a directory listing perfectly.

However, when I try to install a trusty dot-matrix printer:
/usr/bin/lpadmin -p KXP1123 -E -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -m
/usr/share/cups/model/Panasonic/KX-P1123-epson.ppd

I get the following error:
lpadmin: add-printer failed: client-error-not-found

Using cups' web interface, I get a screen saying that the printer was
installed sucessfully, but then it's not there when I go to look at
printers (I expect the same error is occuring, I just don't get to 
see the message).

I've searched through the newsgroups for this error message, but
haven't found any answer.  Has anyone else solved such a problem? 
It's not addressed in the cups documentation.

PS:  Mandrake 7.2 SNF uses kernel 2.2.19  I also have samba
(2.0.7-18mdk) installed and it works perfectly.
