Is there a way I can manually force it to try and print using the
drivers? It should work, I followed all the steps yet it never creates
an entry for my printer :-( What is wrong?

I'm not sure what is wrong, but I have a suggestion. CUPS has a nice,
and in my experience, reliable, Web interface for configuration. You
can access it by having your browser connect to "http://localhost:631/";.

I would suggest using the "Manage Printers" selection, in the "Welcome"
section of the page, first, to see if the printer setup you did created
anything. If you see it there, you can then choose to "Modify Printer"
to verify the setup and perhaps find and fix the problem. You may also
want to look at "Set Printer Options", to be sure they are correct.

If you don't see the printer listed, then you should use the "Add
Printer" link to set it up again.
