HP920c printer problem [solved]

This printer appears to be set up correctly and accepts print jobs but won't print. I have never had a problem with it before so I don't know what to try.

 

As far as I can tell all the cups packages are installed.

This printer has installed without issue in about 50 distros, including Mandriva in previous incarnations.

 

It is a software problem.

 

What could I be missing?

 

I can't use the distro without the printer, so please, somebody suggest something. I don't know where to begin.

I've got it....my own stupid fault!

 

I had put /dev/lp0 instead of /dev/usb/lp0, so it was trying to use the parallel port.

 

I have a very red face!

 

Thanks for your time and sorry to have wasted it!
