So im trying to print on multiple printers. Sometimes they work, sometimes they dont. it seems random. Currently im using an epson p8570 and yesterday it worked fine, today, in the print que it says pending print report.

Im usually using it over wifi because usb connection is functional even less. but today USB printing is working. Im confused as all hell.

Access the CUPS (Common Unix Printing Sysyem) GUI by pointing your browser to http://localhost:631.

You can detect, add, and manage printers from the Admin tab, and deal with individual printers from the Printers tab. You can set the system default printer.

From the command line,

lpstat -t

will show the total state of the printing system.
