[newbie] Re: Can't Print Anymore???

Try checking your printer settings using kups, qtcups or at 
https://localhost:631/ (strangely, I've only managed to get this URL working 
in Opera). I once had a problem where my printer stopped working all of a 
sudden. I checked my CUPS settings and found that it had been put offline.

I vaguely remember a bug (I think it was in CUPS) where printer settings 
would be forgotten after a reboot. I think it was mentioned in one of Till's 
articles on MandrakeForum 
(http://mandrakeforum.com/search.php?query=Till&type=stories&section=&topic=&author=Till&days=0&sort=ts.time).
