Occasionally, attempts to print to this printer result in the subject

I'm not sure how long it lasts as I rarely print anything.
Cups can remember printer errors, to prevent printing to a printer when
the paper is out. Sometimes remembering errors means it never, ever
tries again, and you get the old error message.
You can try 'cupsenable <printername>' the next time it happens instead
of rebooting, to reset the error. If that does work, you need
something like 'lpadmin -p <printer> -o error-policy=retry-job'. I've
forgotten the exact spelling.
There's an option to retry every 30 seconds. I don't know if that's
the default in f22.
Also, ping <ip> -- check if it is down. This will tell you if it's a
cups or networking error.
Just had to reboot again to be able to print but will try your suggestions
again now.
(ping worked before and after reboot)
Thanks,
Stephen
