[Leaplist] CUPS printer status

[Dan Cherry]

Hi,
I've had a CUPS printer status that reads...

Ready: Network host '192.168.1.110' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds...

since yesterday afternoon.
I've restarted CUPS, turned the printer off/on, Added the client IP 
address to cupsd.conf, and assorted other desperate attempts found while 
googling.

This is an Ubuntu system (I've run the Cups-cleanup), and the printer 
works from the linux system it's attached to, and is 'visible' by all 
other Linux systems.

If I 'Stop' the printer, all other systems immediately see it as 
'paused'.  When I restart the printer the other systems immediately see 
it as ready: but with the busy status described above. The 'other' 
systems just put the job in a local queue when they attempt to print. 
The cupsd.conf file is below.

If anyone has run into this, and found a solution, could you share it, 
please?

Thanks,
