Charlie, I think we need some more details.  

Which distro?  

Which printer?  

How did you set the printer up?  

Is it local or on a LAN?  

Have you tried localhost:631 in a browser (login as root when asked)?

Distro is Kubuntu , printer is epson 980 and it is local printer.  I should say that \
the printer had been working fine until I pulled the usb cable and connected it to my \
laptotp where the printer installed without a problem.  The laptop is running the \
exact same version of Kubuntu and KDE 3.5.2.  I have used KDE print a number of times \
with no problems until this.
