So I went ahead and installed espgs... how come that's not a
dependency, btw?

Changed papersize to A4, and trying to print some stuff, still same
error.

Rebooted the machine, relogged into the CUPS web interface, trying to
print test page, now I have a "quota limit reached" error...

Google'd a bit, set allowed users to my own login and root.

Test page from CUPS web interface: works
spadmin test page                : doesn't work, typical
OpenOffice 2 printing            : doesn't work, also typical
lp from shell, txt file          : works
lp from shell, pdf file          : works
Firefox, web page printing       : works

Excellent, many thanks!

I don't mind not being able to print from OOo, I always export as pdf
and just lp it from shell.

Cheers, Hakim
