Having an issue on my Mom's system. She runs SuSE (short u) 9.2 on a Monarch 
Systems AMD Sempron 3000 with 1GB RAM. She has an Epson Stylus Photo 300r USB 
printer. 

Everything's been plugging along just fine since March when I upgraded her 
from Windows. She's even gotten used to YOU updates and having to reboot once 
every few weeks. (Okay, well, she used to reboot every day, but realized you 
don't have to under Linux.)  

Last week, however, her printer stopped. I can't figure out what's going on. 
CUPS says the printer is alive and well. Printing a test page from the 
printer console works fine. However, there is never any output from printing 
in KDE or using the lpr command. The print jobs simply queue up and stall. 
I've reinstalled the printer and no luck.

Ideas? 

Where should I look?

I know I need to get her upgraded to 10 pretty soon (along with OOo 2.0) but 
want to get this resolved first.
