PRINTING: samba cups lp0 problem

Mandrake Linux 10.1, cups 1.1.23, printer connected as "Device URI: parallel:-dev-lp0"

I am having trouble with my printer. I am trying to share my HP deskjet connected to my new Linux box (Linux newbie... sorry), and it works... almost.

If I boot my Linux box, and try to print from my Window XP machine the print job goes off ok, but nothing prints. When I check the cups print manager (via web browser) I see the job in the queue, but when I check the printer section I see the printer is currently shown as...

"Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds...".

Now, if I go on to my Linux box, log in, launch mandrake's control center (mcc as root), select the hardware tab, and double click printers, a couple of things happen...

1) I see the following text in the terminal window from which I launched mcc...

ERROR: Module lp does not exist inproc-modules ERROR: Module parportpc does not exist inproc-modules ERROR: Module parport does not exist inproc-modules

2) The printer immediatly starts printing the job I sent from the XP machine.

3) printerdrake shows the printer

4) refreshing the cups web interface shows the printer as...

"Printer State: idle, accepting jobs."

When I go look in the message log I can find this series of entries which seems to correspond to the printer coming back to life...

Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated.
