Woo dont take that out of context.

I ran out of ink a month or so ago and the printer sat until I got some 
more. When I installed the ink I moved the printer over to another table 
so I unplugged the cable. When I moved the printer back and plugged in 
the cable and I started having problems again.

And I can print as I said a few posts back:
wadesmart at wadesmart:~$ sudo echo "Printer Test" > /dev/ttyUSB0

That will sent a job to the printer but you have to manually press GO on 
  the printer to get it to print. However, that is not very efficient.
