Dear List,
I'm trying to connect a new laptop into an otherwise entirely Fedora LAN. The new machine can see all the (shared, CUPS) printers, but won't actually print anything. 'lpr' appears to complete normally, teh job says 'completed rending' but the printer status is shown as paused. The debugging output is below. Can anyone suggest how to move forward?

you do not mention if you have laptop dual booting or not, but all this should still apply.
first, if possible, connect laptop direct to printer, set cups up for printer, attempt to print to it.
if not, cups is not properly configured.
if does print, cups is not set up properly for network printing.
for network printing, following may help getting it correct.
=+=+=+=
read: 'man printers.conf'
then check to insure is correct;
/etc/cups/printers.conf
<Printer name>
<DefaultPrinter name>
MakeModel ??
DeviceURI ??
Accepting Yes
Shared Yes
Location ?? local or network ??
at bottom of 'man printers.conf' , note;
SEE ALSO <- read each
and the 'SEE ALSO' of each.
also check;
/etc/cups/snmp.conf
Address ??

note, the "??" indicate settings that must be made for network printing.
