Only GTK apps can print, any other app (including lp) appears "held"

The jobs are "held", have 0k size, and when I release them, they disappear. I'm using cups-usblp (as otherwise my Epson printer isn't detected) and gutenprint drivers.

The relevant log lines (log level warn, and I just looked for anything suspicious) should be:

E [27/Mar/2012:19:03:58 +0200] cupsdReadClient: 16 IPP Read Error!

This is when I submit the job with a non-gtk app.

 [27/Mar/2012:19:04:38 +0200] [Job 64] Aborting job because it has no files.

This appears when I "release" the job in the HTTP interface.

With GTK apps (such as evince or firefox), everything works flawlessly.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Im currently having the same problem with my Epson. I only noticed it yesterday and have not found a workaround myself.

Same here, i can print with firefox but KDE apps are not working.

Does anyone know a solution for this?
