[Discuss] printer

[Brandon Vogel]

Might be possible that something old is stuck in the lpr queue.

Check to see if there are any old jobs sitting around in your queues (for
the old printer):

lpstat -o

Remove all old jobs if necessary:

cancel -a {printer} *(where {printer} is substituted wiht the old
printer name from lpstat)*

Restarting the cups service can't hurt either, IMO.
