You were right, the problem is elsewhere. Specificly, lpstat -s reported that the printer was assigned to /dev/null !!! When I tried to correct this I found the available device list has been butchered. Specifically, lpinfo -v reports only network, direct scsi and serial devices - no parallel and no usb. This is hard to understand. On bootup the printer is recognized as a usb device and escputil -i -u -r /dev/usblp0 properly reports the ink levels. usb support was built into the current kernel which I built on Oct 26 and the printer was working perfectly until yesterday.
