[wellylug] Printer setup problem using CUPS

[Glen Ogilvie]

When you tried the LQ100 driver, did anything show up in the log files as to 
why it was not working?

I think it may be somewhere like 
/var/log/cups
or 
/var/log/lpr

I have not had a crack at getting printing working under MD10 before, so not 
exactly sure where to look.
