Check it gets loaded into the printer. The final post at

   http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/forum/read.php?9,3553

should help. Please also read usb_printerid(1).

1. Switch the printer off and on.

2. Enable verbose logging from cups:

     cupsctl --debug-logging

3. Empty the error log:

     echo '' > /var/log/cups/error_log

4. Print.

4. Examine /var/log/cups/error_log. Then compress it with gzip or xz and
   attach it to your next mail sent here.
