CUPS printer stopping on test page print

Thu Mar 4 10:40:13 CET 2004

Hi everybody,

When I require printing a test page via the web interface of my CUPS server, 
the print job remain uncompleted (pending since ..) and my printer state 
changes to "stopped, accepting jobs. "

I turned Log Level to debug option and here is what i can read from error_log:

I [04/Mar/2004:10:33:09 +0100] Job 478 queued on 'tahoua' by 'eric'.
