printer is not printing

I figured out my CUPS server error, so ignore my last post.

Now the printer is not printing. It makes no difference if I am using an
application or trying to print a test page in the control center. For test
page, I've gone to

control center (kcontrol) -> peripherals -> printers -> instances -> test ...

A window pops up saying

You are about to print a teest page of Canon BJC 1000. Do you want
to continue.

No problem. I press "Print Test Page".

Another window shows up saying

Test Page successfully sent to Canon BJC 1000.

But nothing happens afterward, i.e., no printing. I know the printer is
on and plugged in correctly. What else should I be checking for?

RE: printer is not printing [solved]

Got a tip from the Mandrivauser forum. Went to

http://localhost:631/

and added another printer with success. The one Mandriva control center puts in,
CUPS complains that the PPD file did not match the printer? [Probably an error
on Mandriva's side]

Out of curiosity how did you figure out your cups server error, because I haven't figured it out yet?
