I have the same problem. Run > lpq to see the status of the jobs. > lprm #job to remove print #job. This does not help, however, to understand why the printer just randomly stops printing. I have noticed that pdflatex seems to generate some pdf files that Evince cannot print, but Adobe acroread can open & print them. My working hypothesis is that Evince or the gtk print interface or CUPS fail on one of these jobs from Evince, and then the whole print regime is hung. If you have ideas, I'd be delighted to hear it. pj -- Paul E.
