   That's what we do here.

   Write a description of your system, how you're trying to communicate with
your printer, how your network is configured, and what results you see. For
example, using the CUPS admin page http://localhost:631 is the printer
on-line and sitting idle waiting for a job? What happens when you use that
interface to print a test page (under the printer maintenance menu)?

   Sometimes, deleting the printer and re-installing it fixes communications
problems. Give that a try.

   Then tell us what you've tried and the results. Less expensive and quicker
than a home visit in many cases. Worth a try.
