Checking through my configs here (I'm running both a BJC-3000 & S830D,
and both USB). In the printer config tool, make sure that in the queue
type screen, the queue type is set to "Locally-connected", and the
device is set to "/dev/usb/lp0". This goes for Turboprint as well. (At
least in the area of devices, that is).
