Thanks: I Got it sorted out. I did not notice in the past that I actually had to click or double click on the HP 5L printer at the top in the printer manager window in order to access the jobs for that specific printer. I just took it for granted that since it is the only printer on my system, it would automatically show the jobs.
My computer was set on the Generic Unix LPD Print System. I've now changed it to CUPS. Would it make a difference?
