[ SOLVED ] Cups Printer Error

Hi All

I've had to clean install arch after virtualbox made a mess of my system.  Anyway, now i cant get cups to print.  I have a windows 7 box with a printer attached and a seperate arch box with samba & cups installed. when i try to print a test page, i get this error message

Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-banner'!

My log file shows this

E [15/Mar/2011:17:44:07 +0000] Unknown SystemGroup "sys root lpadmin" on line 2, ignoring!
