Hi WZ,

Thanks for following up.

> Does /gnu/store/.../cups/filter/rastertoqpdl exist?

Yes, it exists in the splix package, but not in the cups
package. Looking at the Guix source code I saw that
~system-config-printer~ (in ~guix/gnu/packages/gnome.scm~) takes input
from cups on build, but not from splix or other print drivers. Could
that be part of the problem?

The user is in the lp group. I didn't know about lpadmin. I will add
that group as well and see if it changes anything. The CUPS localhost
page was behaving strangely (stalling on load) when I tried to click the
administration tab. Thanks for the tip!
