 So,  since replacing the cpu in my machine and upgrading the bios I have
 had trouble getting my printer installed.  USB detection is enabled in the
 BIOS. 1st thing is that it takes a very long time for the list of
 manufacterers and models to load (not normal even with old cpu) and then
 the recommended driver fails to install (foomatic+gimprint).  So I choose
 the  (foomatic+gimprint-ijs) and it loads but it won't print.  I go to system  settings>printers and see that the printer is not started.  I right click on printer and choose start printer and after a few moments it quits.  I have tried all of the drivers listed for my printer and none will even print a test page.

Charlie, I think we need some more details.  

Which distro?  

Which printer?  

How did you set the printer up?  

Is it local or on a LAN?  

Have you tried localhost:631 in a browser (login as root when asked)?

Distro is Kubuntu , printer is epson 980 and it is local printer.  I should say that the printer had been working fine until I pulled the usb cable and connected it to my laptotp where the printer installed without a problem.  The laptop is running the exact same version of Kubuntu and KDE 3.5.2.  I have used KDE print a number of times with no problems until this.
