Printer issues CUPS/Printer Server/OptraE+
I have a Lexmark Optra E+ PCL/Postrscript printer which I use on my network on a printer server.
It was working fine under Knoppix 1/31/03 HD installed. A while back it quit working. Still works fine on the printer server under wimpdoze.
I've tried removing and re-adding the printer several times, still the same thing.
The most it will do now, is take a print job into the queue, send some sort of packet to the printer as I get a data light on the printer, then stop. The job remains in the queue "processing," then goes away. Nothing prints, test pages, print requests from any program, nothing.
Here is a snippet from the /var/log/cups/error_log from a WORKING session:

Wiping out the install and starting over is not really an option, even with this being so old a version, since it took A LOT of effort to get this older test machine to even boot the CD to a stable envrioment I could HD install it.
I can not duplicate this error from the CD as it will not let me add printers and the CUPS server is not running from it.
Setup:
EdiMax PrintSir Single port mini printer server
Lexmark Optra E+ PCL/Postrscript printer
HD installed Knoppix 1/31/03
Suggestions? Thank you in advance.
