(Get the code!)
Cupsys just got updated again, so I've plugged my printer back in and it was added automatically with the correct Photosmart driver, quite nice!
However, when trying to print a document, I had got the job state "Pending: printer-stopped". Canceling the job, running "sudo aa-complain cupsd" and trying to print again did not help. While the printer status in the properties dialog was "Ready" before submitting the job, it now was "Unplugged or turned off". Of course the printer was neither unplugged nor turned off. I've removed the printer and recreated it (the correct drivers are available again now). After that I was able to print successfully, multiple times.
It seems I'm able to reproduce the problem by restarting Ubuntu. Running "sudo aa-complain cupsd" before printing does not help. The status of a print job is "Pending: printer-stopped" until I recreate the printer. Let me know if I can provide any information from log files etc. that could help to fix this.
