Perhaps through choking my system (SuSE 9.1 on a Toshiba Satellite 1905-S303 laptop) with too many print jobs, the printer stopped (HP Deskjet 6122) and CUPS shows my printer as inactive. But when I try to log in with root username and password to reactivate it, CUPS doesn't accept them. I've tried KDE and Gnome's printer managers on the outside chance that the switch might make a difference. But it doesn't. I've also tried using Yast to uninstall and reinstall my printer. While I get the "Hello World" test page, again, no jobs print once I'm working with applications and have reoriented them to the "new" installation of my printer. And I've tried powering down, then repowering the printer. Is there a CUPS configuration file I need to tweak, or am I stuck with having to uninstall and reinstall CUPS?
I don't have the answer, but that happened to me today, so when you find out, let me know ! -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800
