I've had experience of this sort of problem arising if the paper size is
set wrong.  In windows there seemed to be a multitude of places to set
the paper size and if they weren't all set correctly the printer
wouldn't print.

However, I've not seen this problem in Linux.  Check that you've
installed the correct driver and that the printer configuration is setup
for paper size etc.

The settings page you sent looks OK.
