Hmmm - nothing there that jumps out at me really.

Lets try this.

Open a terminal program.

Type
   lpstat -tl
and hit return

Copy and paste that into an email.

Then, type
   ls | lpr
and hit return, then immediately hit the up arrow twice and hit return again.

That's a vertical bar or pipe symbol between ls and lpr, not a number
one or a small L.  It's close to the return key on a US keyboard, but
judging by your name you quite possibly aren't using one of those.

Copy and paste that output into the email, and check the printer to
see if it printed anything.

Let us know...
