Sorry for not getting back to this in a more timely manner. The computer in question is my office workstation, and eventually I need to get some work done for my boss regardless of whether I can print. But not being able to print has been a serious headache.
Thanks to all who made suggestions here. I tried it all, and tried some stuff that made me wonder if I was destroying my machine while doing it. Fortunately, I didn't do permanent damage to my setup.
Anyway, it turns out that printing just started working again after the machine was rebooted. So I think I'm good now. (In case you are wondering why I didn't do that much earlier, my machine sometimes acts as a light-duty server, and opportunities to reboot are often very limited.) Thanks again to everyone who tried to help.

Is there any way to figure out why the current printer is offline, beyond "Unable to connect"? Not being able to print is really messing with my workflow.
Enable debug logging like this: su -c 'cupsctl --debug-logging' Then look in /var/log/cups/error_log after attempting to print. You can turn off debug logging with: su -c 'cupsctl --no-debug-logging'
