When I initially setup my suse 7.2 machine I configured printing using USB and CUPS.  
The test page that is generated by YAST came out very well, and I was able to print 
from the command line.  However, since sometime printing does not work anymore 
(don't know when it stopped exactly).

Does anyone know what/how to investigate what might be wrong;

dar:/var/log/cups # lpc status
lp:
        printer is on device 'usb' speed -1
        queuing is enabled
        printing is disabled
        no entries
        daemon present

When I execute "lpr <file>" the file is being sent to queue, I can cancel it from queue 
as well.

The cups error log tells me that cups is configured for 100 clients

The access log tells:
127.0.0.1 - - [30/Sep/2001:21:59:53 +0100] "POST /jobs/ HTTP/1.1" 200 170
127.0.0.1 - - [30/Sep/2001:22:00:01 +0100] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 117

127.0.0.1 - - [30/Sep/2001:22:00:05 +0100] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 232
127.0.0.1 - - [30/Sep/2001:22:00:39 +0100] "POST /printers/ HTTP/1.1" 200 176

The local loop is not switched on when the machine comes up, so I added the local
route:
192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ippp0
127.0.0.1       0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0         192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 ippp0

I have:
rpm -qa | grep -i usb
usbmgr-0.4.6-33
usbview-1.0-53

rpm -qa | grep -i cups
cups-drivers-1.1.6-34
cups-1.1.6-52

which seems to be the original (non updated packages)

I hope that this a good starting point to provide some information/hints/directions
to get printing back to operation....
