I then opened a PDF document in evince, opened the print dialog, and selected that printer. I got a short-lived message, "rejecting jobs". I turned the printer off. The printer went away in the print dialog. I turned it back on. The printer re-appeared, along with the same short-lived "rejecting jobs" message. I went to Netscape. That printed.
