We have an elderly Konica Minolta 2300DL colour laser printer. It is connected to both our Macs via the network. However, today neither Mac can print to it. On the Mac printer screen I see CUPS ready to print and then the printer puts itself into a pause state. You can hit Resume but it just cycles through back to Paused. Here is what I have done so far.
Power cycled the printer.
Power cycled my Mac
Reset the printer queues on my Mac which clears out all the print queues and printers.
I can ping the laser printer OK
I can print out a testpage via the laserprinter control panel
I can clear out the printer from the Printer setup and re-instal it (which implies some level of comms between Mac and printer)
but I can't print anything...from either Mac! Which seems to be suggesting a problem with the printer? But where do go next.
