It should show what printer is 'seen' by cups.


It looks like it is there.  When I pull or replace the USB cable, the status
changes accordingly.


Have you checked the error_log to see if it has any clues?



3. If lpstat -t says it can't find the server, see a post by me about
      "Strange printer problems" on June 3.


It doesn't sound like the same issue, I don't think.


Your right, it isn't the same problem but just as frustrating.  :-(

Good luck
