I am trying to connect my Kyocera FS-1000 parallel printer to my AsRock Ion330 via a usb->parallel adapter cable (Prolific Technologies PL-2305 USB to Printer Bridge Controller).
Printer seemed to be recognized by cups (when I logged in for the first time Kyocera FS-1000 was listed in add printers dialogue), but for some reason printing doesn't work.
On http://localhost:631/printers/ I now get
Kyocera_FS-1000 Kyocera FS-1000 Bureau Kyocera FS-1000 Foomatic/pxlmono (recommended) Idle - "Filter "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip" for printer "Kyocera_FS-1000" not available: No such file or directory"
I've copied access_log and error_log below and hope somebody on this forum can give me some clues to solve this problem.

Looks like cups is seeing the printer. What about this missing filter? Looks like nothing happens without it. Do you have the Foomatic-filters package installed?

Hi Slurp53. Thanks for your suggestion. It solved my problem!
I just didn't know about this foomatic-filters package (or what it does). After installing my printer works fine.
I now see that a similar problem is described on the archlinux wiki page on CUPS, for HP printers.
After reading the description of what foomatic-filters does, I am wondering why it is not announced as an optional dependency when installing cups?
