CUPS Problem

Most obvious question:

Have you configured you printer via the cups web interface?
Go to <http://localhost:631>, click "Printers", "Add Printer" (at the
bottom), and follow the instructions. Then try printing a Test Page.

If you don't mind using KDE, KDE's KControl has an excellent printer
configuration tool (Periherals->Printers).
