I had that problem about samba. Samba uses the 'nobody' user to print. And that was the problem. If I tried to print as root, no trouble, but when I tried to print as any other user I rececive a message about the queue. Something like 'warning: the queue is down'. I just do 'lpc start all' (no 'restart') and everything works fine. I don't understand why the queues stop when they want (if they do). Xanti Juergen Braukmann wrote:

Hi all,
Once again I'm having hell with my printer. I've an old HP Deskjet 500 with an APS filter. I printed part of a file with "lpr -Praw file". This printed fine, but now it will not print at all. I tried "lpc clean all" and still will not print. I even resetup the aps filter.
I usually use "lpc up all". (there are a hell more lpc commands) I do not know wether they are the same, you might try "lpc restart all" as well. sometimes (on my printserver machine running samba) the printer hangs like that, the next job starts the first and gets stuck. just to save i even run a small cron job every 10 min....
