HP printer stopped working

[msjones773]

Hello,

I just recently installed fedora on my win xp machine as a dual boot. I 
was quite pleased that the install went ok and everything seemed to 
work. I am completely new to Linux, but am interested by what I see.

Here's my question. I just ran apt-up2date and quite a few updates 
downloaded. After it was done I notice that my HP usb deskjet printer no 
longer prints. If I try to print from a file it looks like it queues and 
then nothing happens. Before the updates it would print fine. I looked 
in control manager and under  printer I see that it is idle and 
rejecting jobs. Then after a while it will become active, but when I try 
to print again I get the same result. Under the generic driver option I 
can not see any of the jobs in queue, but under cups I have a list of 
jobs waiting to print but there is a small red x on the printer icon so 
I'm not sure what that means. I did try all the options though. I'm 
pretty sure the updates I downloaded had something to do with it but 
being new to Linux I am not quite sure where to start looking. Perhaps 
someone could steer me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Mark
