Thanks for the tip (somehow I didn't see it until today--sorry). I tried "lpc status all" also and it said: lp: queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries printer idle
But just for interest, I still tried "lpc enable all" and "lpc restart all", and have the same results. Any other ideas? Thanks!
