I am running Fedora5 with Gnome and got to this bug sheet by Google

I have been frustrated with Cups on Gnome for a long time - I don´t really know what the problem is, but my solution for hung print queue is to go into the print dialogs via http://localhost:631/ and turn off (sometimes is already off) and then start the affected printer. This seems to do the trick.

My printer is a HP 2100/M/TN and I am using jetdirect with ipp://xxx.xxx:9100/ to connect.
