Trouble with USB printer



Hi,

I have a USB printer, HP laserjet 1600. I'm using lenny, with cups
and the hpijs driver installed. The printer used to work, although it
would sometimes stop due to an error. Restarting the printer usually
got it working again. Recently, probably after an upgrade, it stopped
working altogether. The printer is still detected, and if I print to
it, the job is listed in kjobviewer, and shows up if I connect to the
cups server (localhost:631), but the printer does not do anything, and
the menu panel states "Ready". I can still print to a remote printer,
so I suspect it is a problem with the USB system, not cups itself.
Does anyone have a clue as to what could be wrong, or how I would go
about debugging this?

-Chris
