Ok... I'm having problems getting my Canon BJC 1000 working with CUPS. I've had it working before using the BJC 250 driver on Slackware 7.1 (that was like a year ago). Now after starting with a fresh install using Slackware 8.1 I tried getting my printer working again using CUPS and following my notes from the last time I did it.

However, now I seem to have missed something or maybe I haven't but either way I can't seem to get my printer to work....

According to CUPS the printer is ready and waiting for print jobs and according to lpstat:
scheduler is running
system default destination: Canon-BJC-1000
device for Canon-BJC-1000: parallel:/dev/lp0
Canon-BJC-1000 accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00
printer Canon-BJC-1000 is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00

but when go to print a "Test Page" in cups, or KDE Print Manager, it immediately get aborted, or occasionally says "completed" but when I got to restart the job it says: "client-error-not-possible"

this is a snip of my /var/log/cups/error_log:

***EOF****

it seems it accepts the first few attempts then denies access on the third.....

I'm stumped anyone have any ideas? I really hate booting Winblows for printing..... grrrrr
