--------------------------------
it's what I did :
I changed my hostname to localhost again, delete the config under 
printerconfig-gui, reboot the computer and create and set up a new queue,
and always I cannot print.
the printer starts but unreadable characters and papers go out without 
stopping !
information : with a" text.txt" file  and the command :
" lpr text.txt", in console mode, it works...
thanks
