This is an FC5 question. Hope someone's still interested. (I've downloaded 6, but haven't installed yet.)

My HP deskjet 5550 just stopped working when I changed the printer cartridge. I don't THINK the new cartridge is the problem. All printer console lights are normal. Steps taken: I deleted the printer and created it anew. When CUPS tried to send the test page, this message occurred: /usr/bin/lpr: connection refused.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Bill

Possibly the cups service is not running. Run service cups restart
