Re: printing stopped working--any ideas?

Thanks for the tip (somehow I didn't see it until today--sorry). I tried
"lpc status all" also and it said:
    lp:
       queuing is enabled
       printing is enabled
       no entries
       printer idle

But just for interest, I still tried "lpc enable all" and "lpc restart
all", and have the same results. Any other ideas? Thanks!
