Restarting cupsd didn't help, neither did rebooting the entire | machine (I am slowly starting to realise that that trick only works on | Windows). The printer is listed in /usr/local/etc/cups/printers.conf and | /etc/printcap. I couldn't find any related errors in the CUPS error log. MAke sure you rebuild libgnomeprint with WITH_CUPS defined (add WITH_CUPS=yes to /etc/make.conf).
