Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups
When printing fails for some reason ("backend failed" message), printer
is paused, and won't resume automatically, even after a reboot. This is
silly because there's no notice about that in the print dialog nor in
the print queue: you have to go to System->Administration->Printing, and
be very clever to understand how to re-enable the printer.
In most cases, the fact that something failed doesn't mean other
documents won't print, and generally users will figure the error better
by themselves than with a paused printer.
This is in Lucid 1.4.3-1ubuntu1.3 (not sure in Maverick).
