Subject:   CUPS wont print inside GNOME

I have the latest GNOME installed from ports and have the odd issue of CUPS not wanting to work with it right.

If i access the CUPS web configuration page, i can print test pages just fine and not a single issue, but if i try and print a test page from inside GNOME, including trying with the gnome-cups-manager port, it will stop and present the following error
"/usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failed"this error will carry over to the web interface and those jobs are pretty much hosed, yet i can create a test print from web interface even when this error is present.

I do notice that test pages from web interface come from user "anonymous" whereas test pages from gnome-cups-manager are from the respected user that ran it.
even root is unable to print from inside gnome.
