Printing woes

Greatly modified COL 3.1, 2.4.17 kernel, CUPS 1.1.18, Canon S900 printer, 
Turboprint driver, USB connection.  Nothing prints.

First, ran "mknod /dev/usb/lp0 180 0".  Then, added "printer" to 
/etc/modules/default".  Everything I can think of looks alright.  CUPS 
shows the printer with no errors reported.  "lpc status" ditto.  
/proc/bus/usb/devices shows the Canon.  lsmod lists both printer and 
usbcore used by [printer usb-uhci usb-storage].  /var/log/messages has the 
printer properly recognized.  "lspci -v" has the usb stuff OK. 
var/log/cups/error-log shows nothing untoward, I don't think. Just 
repeated msgs:

192.168.1.101) 304e 3 ipp://localhost:631/printers/tp0 "" "Canon_S900" 
"Canon_S900 TurboPrint"

I don't know what else to check.  Any advice, pointers, appreciated.  
Thanks.
