[xubuntu-users] Printer Stopped Printing

[Clarence Fender]

This happens to me now and then, usually when I need to print NOW.
I try reinstalling CUPS and the driver. You could also uninstall the
printer(s) and reinstall first.
I've had much better luck with HP. I believe they contributed CUPS, so HP
printers are at an advantage.
