not printing because of no legit driver.
the only other thing I'm reading consistently is the thing I never tried before. it says install ghost, the ppd, foomatic then configure thru cups/open source page
"Access the CUPS web interface: If your usual interface for managing printers doesn't work or you don't like it, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:631/admin. You can manage all the printers installed on your computer, adjust their settings, and even add new ones—all from this web interface. Note that this might be available on other computers on your network; if so, replace "localhost" with the relevant hostname or IP address."
I'm unfamiliar with this method; many swear by it.
edit: you have to have firewall off is also in my cups reading a lot
