I don't print much, so have no idea when this started other than I've done some package installations and some updates since. It used to work fine, and I don't remember doing anything that should have had anything to do with printing.
Every time I try to print, the job goes into that print queue, and never comes out. I look in KJobViewer, and even after changing the priority to 100 and selecting "move to printer", it just sits there. I have only one printer, a PS LaserJet 4 on ethernet, the only one shown by YaST2. SeaMonkey thinks there's also a CUPS printer, which is what it defaults to. KPdf defaults to the LaserJet, but its jobs get stuck in queue too, e.g. at 223kb and 0 pages. How do I get print jobs to go directly to the only printer instead of stuck in queue? OS/2 prints to this printer with no delay.
What is lpstat reporting? I had a similar problem and found that jobs were going to a queue which for some reason had become disabled. Use lpadmin to re-enable the queue if this is the case.
That was it.
