My networked printer has developed a fault and has to be returned to the manufacturer, so I have to go back to a usb printer attached to my file server. In the past I worked happily with a remote printer, but I'm having no success at all today, and could do with some prompting. /var/log/cups/error_log says: I [02/Jun/2008:17:02:21 +0100] [Job 276] Adding start banner page "none". I [02/Jun/2008:17:02:21 +0100] [Job 276] Adding job file of type application/postscript. I [02/Jun/2008:17:02:21 +0100] [Job 276] Adding end banner page "none". I [02/Jun/2008:17:02:21 +0100] [Job 276] Queued on "HPDesJet990C" by "anne".

That sounds fine, but nothing came out of the printer.

I have tried both the cups page and Mandriva's printerdrake to set this up, so there is the possibility of conflicts introduced by warring tools. I don't recall having to perform somersaults to get this to work before, but it's a major PITA to be so restricted in where I can print, so I'd welcome hints about where to look next. Thanks Anne
