Ah, if it now gets that far, then this may (or may not) apply in your
case. I've just finished dealing with an HP 3050 which wouldn't print
unless its "Enter" button was pressed for each print job from CUPS.
It would "prepare to print, but then stop", as yours does.

For the HP 3050, the fix was to make CUPS use the appropriate PPD file.

But does yours print if the printer's <go_button> is pressed?
