Two weeks ago, I no longer could send a document to either printer. I've
got two printers connected, both of which used to work fine. One is a
Canon S600 connected to a USB port. The other is a HP LJ 6MP connected
through my local network. Both worked fine previously.
Whenever I try to print from a program (e.g., Firefox), the only printer
available is the PostScript default. Previously, both printers were
listed, with the HP as the default printer.
When I try to print a test page, I get this error:
lpr: error - unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable
I'm running Core 3, and have done all of the updates. I downloaded and
installed the latest version of CUPS (1.1.22). That did not help.
Do you have a firewall running? Try using system-config-securitylevel to
add 631:tcp to the list of open ports (on the machine with the printers
attached).

Please help.
