Localhost:631 shows my postscript printer installed and accepting jobs.
The output of lpoptions:

media=Letter sides=one-sided finishings=3 copies=1
job-hold-until=no-hold job-priority=50 number-up=1
auth-info-required=none job-sheets=none,none printer-info='GENERIC
PostScript Printer' printer-is-accepting-jobs=1 printer-is-shared=1
printer-location printer-make-and-model='Generic PostScript Printer
Foomatic/Postscript (recommended)' printer-state=3
printer-state-change-time=1215794769 printer-state-reasons=none
printer-type=12316

The output of lpq reveals: lpq: printer not found

As stated earlier, if I use X apps (Thunderbird for example) I have no
problem printing.
