Sometimes my printer enters into a "Paused" state, and this
is how I fix it:
In a browser window address bar: localhost:631
CUPs appears. Select "Administration" from the top menu bar
Click the button for "Manage Printers"
Select the affected printer
It should display the printer status, in my case: "Officejet (Paused,
Accepting Jobs, Not Shared)"
Select the "Maintenance" drop down and click "Resume Printer"
I prefer to use "system-config-printer". In there, under Policy, you'll
probably find that the printer is not enabled. Check the box and it's
back to running again.
