I found that CUPS in Ubuntu 5.10 didn't have a driver for my Epson D68, so I installed Gutenprint 5 from source, set up a new printer with the appropriate PPD file from Gutenprint, et voila - the device was printing happily.
After a restart or two, however, the printer stopped working. The queue shows the job as "printing" but nothing happens. I switched on the debug mode and had a look at /var/log/cups/error_log. After some initialisation stuff that looks normal to me, cups keeps printing the same 8 lines over and over to the log file:

I somehow doubt that this is normal... There are no error messages, though. Anybody got a clue what might be wrong?
Thx,
