I tried with a Samsung ML-1640 laser printer connected to the NAS (again
by USB) and while the printer can be seen any attempt to print fails
and again I get the Processing - Unable to get printer status message
displayed in the printer properties tab.
Is there any other way to print to remote
I also am printing to a NAS cups server. I wonder if the cups server on
the NAS is, somehow, not compatible with the cups server on my laptops?
Humm, I'll have to test out that theory, by connecting the printer to my
server instead of the NAS. This may also explain the errors I saw in the
network

Title:
I'm having the same issue with Ubuntu 11.10 and an Epson Stylus Photo
R390.
The printer is on a NAS (ReadyNas Duo) on the local network, I was able
to print to it under 11.04 but not with 11.10.
Others are having similar problems when connecting to a printer locally
via USB. Some have resolved

This is a very serious bug most likely in cups itself. Any printer
connected either over a network or directly onto the machine can be
found, but will not print. The print job stays in the queue forever.
