my printer has suddenly stopped working. i have absolutely no idea how or
why......it was working one minute and then it wasn't....my wife running
95 prints to the same printer, and the same thing has happened there also.
i'm running debian 2.0.34 on a 233mhz intel pentium with 64meg ram
the printer is an epson styllus collor-400
this is what i get as a result of "lpd" and "lpq"
