There you should see the front page of the cups system which should allow you to fully configure and test the system using this gui. Is that LX800 still functional? I may be confused, but ISTR thats at least a 10-15 year old dot matrix model, and by now the head may be suffering from worn pin guides and or broken pins. A quick google search turns up only ribbons for it. Modern ink sprayers are quieter, and many times faster, usually offering photographic quality color with a takehome price includeing spare inks of around $200 USD. The epson9 drivers in the usual gs installation which cups will use as the rendering engine, should be able to make it function ok. Those drivers are so old that recent esp ghostscript builds compatible with cups usage may not include then. I remember using them back when ghostscript was at about version 3.56 or so, built it myself on an amiga in later versions up to about 5.10 when it could handle up to pdf-1.2 internally. GS is up to 8.something now and pdf support is now a seperate pdf->gs conversion program.
