 Try localhost:631 and check out Jobs.

I always do an lpstat -t and check first..
this HPR380 is a bit finicky with Linux.. sometimes it stalls, and even
restarting cups doesn't work, I have to (UGH) reboot.

If that looks OK, check the Printer page - I have known times when a
printer has to be stopped then started after something upset it.

see above:)
paulandcilla:/home/pbc# lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: EpsonR380
device for EpsonR380: usb://EPSON/Stylus%20Photo%20R380

and of course now that I rebooted, she CAN print..

Paul, humour me :-) If it happens again, make the two checks I recommended
and let us know whether you found the problem there. Clearly something was
bunging up the works :-)

I don't use lpstat, so I could be misunderstanding, but it seems to me that
the command above tells you that the job is being sent, but it doesn't tell
you whether the printer is accepting input from the queue. I'm betting it
wasn't.
