Mandrake 8.1 + CUPS + Epson C60

[Loco3KGT]

Yea. This whole lunix thing sucks. Now that we've got that out of the way .. I've been using linux for almost 5 years now.. Slackware for about 4 .. now Mandrake 8.1

So I know a little something about linux.. what I don't know about linux is printing ... and CUPS isn't working so hot.. I've got an Epson Stylus C60 ... this is my /etc/cups/printer.conf

# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.10

<DefaultPrinter Epson_C60>
DeviceURI usb:/dev/lp0
State Idle

</Printer>


I've tried DeviceURI usb:/dev/usb/lp0 (both devices exist, but they have diff mknod numbers, 186,0 and 6,0 i think)

Neither works.

Any suggestions?

I've been using cups fine for a year on slackware. The thing that I love about cups is the web front end for it. I've honestly never messed with /etc/printcap until a few minutes ago when i looked at it to see what i can see. The only line reads hp:. Give the web setup a whirl, point your browser to http://localhost:631

Sure it takes all the fun out of it, but I want to print, not spend a week trying to get lpd to work (been there,done that, got nowhere).
