[SOLVED] HP Deskjet D1500 series printer problem

[ostrosky.jeremiah]

Hello all,

Looking for some insight as to what may be happening that's preventing me from printing on my HP Deskjet D1560.  This printer was working previously but upon attempting to print an image for my wife from her laptop (and tried from mine) I pretty much get no response and it doesn't print anything.  I looked through some log files and found the following entries in syslog that look to be related but dont really have any idea where to start to correct the issue.

After reading some other users' posts, I've re-installed cups and removed/re-added my printer and everything seems to be working again.  Kinda strange.  The issue was being able to print via samba on my windows machines (2 laptops, 1 desktop).  Test pages printed fine from the pclos box the entire time. If anyone has an explanation as to why this occurred I'd greatly appreciate it.
