printer getting data but not printing

[Troy Piggins]

I'm running Breezy with a HP Laserjet 1200 printer connected to it
via parallel port.

I've had the printer working last week both locally and over a samba
share, then just tried printing this morning and it's not working
properly both locally and over network.  I can't figure out why.
The computer wasn't rebooted or anything - can't think what might've
changed.

Details - the printer is set up using the HP Laserjet 1200 Postscript
driver.  The Windows machines that connect to it are using the HP
Laserjet 1200 Series PS (MS) driver.

I had been trying other drivers but the above was the best
combination for network printing... until now it's not working :-(

If someone sends a print job over samba this is the tail of
/var/log/cups/error_log :

NOthing out of the ordinary ?  I wouldn't know.

But nothing actually prints out - the printer's light flashes like
it's receiving data ok, but then the flashing stops but nothing
prints.
