Cannot print to Brother MFC240C on Lucid

[doesntcount]

I'm having a hell of time printing and I'm hoping I could get some help.

I've installed the appropriate printer driver packages, as shown by my dpkg output below.

And yet, when i print a testpage, it goes to the queue and enters the "Processing" stage and never actually prints.

I've added myself to the lp group, so it shouldn't be a permissions issue.

It prints fine from my gf's mac, so there's nothing wrong with the printer. It's definitely a ubunut specific issue. Anybody have any suggestions?


$ sudo dpkg -l | grep brother

Restarting the printer solved the issue. Go figure.
