The final line in your error log: E [19/Jan/2007:19:49:54 +0100] [Job 16] Unable to open parallel port device file: Permission denied Makes me think that the user/group that cupsd is running as does not have the appropriate permissions to access /dev/lp0 Have you tried changing the Group in your cupsd.conf to lp as opposed to sys (which is the default in my cupsd.conf)?

Permissions on lp0
# ls -l /dev/lp0 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 2007-01-17 05:48 /dev/lp0
Same.
Probably a silly question but I assume you've got all the printing ports installed like gimp-print and foomatic-filters? I don't know whether you need them but I have them installed and all my printing works fine.
Didn't have gimp-print and foomatic-filters since they were marked optional. However, didn't make much change. Still have the same error.
Thanks, Helge
