Denis,

   For reason(s) unknown to me because I've not looked for them, CUPS will,
occasionally, silently refuse to print jobs for a printer. When the printer
status is 'ready to print' or 'idle' or 'accpting jobs' but nothing moves
from its print queue I've deleted the printer and re-added it with the same
parameters. That always clears the blockage.

   This happens infrequently enough that I remove/add the printer and go on.

HTH,

Rich
