Canon PIXMA MP830 doesn't print.

Print test page fails with:

'printer-state-message': u'/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster failed',

$ ps ax | grep cupsd
3318 ? Ss 0:00 cupsd -C /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
4996 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto cupsd

Any ideas how to trouble shoot or fix this problem? Out put from system-config-printer troubleshooter:

$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.35.4-25.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Sep 11 09:21:17 CDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I notice that every time I reboot cups is listed as 'enabled' but 'stopped'. What's up with that?

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups status
cups.service - LSB: The CUPS scheduler
Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/cups)
Active: inactive (dead)
CGroup: name=systemd:/systemd-1/cups.service

After today's update I was able to print a test page. I'm in the habit of rebooting after updates so I'll do that before further testing.

Well Fudge.
Edit then: OK. As mentioned in my second post cups wasn't starting with normal boot. That is normal boot given non-debugging kernel and using proprietary nvidia driver. I added the line 'init=/sbin/upstart' to kernel line in /boot/grub/grub.conf' and that fixed that. I've tested on a few apps and printer is working given the kernel boot parameter 'init=/sbin/upstart'. This may indicate a problem with systemd?
