one might go to whatever menu item on your system, maybe 
system/admin/printing, or something to that effect depending on what 
desktop you are using.  Select the problem printer, try to send a test 
print to it.  When said test print fails to appear then look for a 
button or check box that says something like, "Did the test print 
work?".  Say no it didn't and then look for a place to enable debut mode.

It's very unlikely that I have the same desktop DE that you have so I 
can not be any more specific as the the steps required.

Also check the cups logs for clues.

[mlapier at mushroom ~]$ locate cups | grep log
