CUPS printer won't even print test page 

I have a HP PSC 2355 printer/scanner. I'm using CUPS ` hpoj ` hpijs and the ptal backend in CUPS. I'm able to scan just fine with xsane, but I can't even get a test page to print. This is the first trouble I've ever had with this printer. When I try to print a test page, it shows in the queue, sits there for a few seconds (like it's being spooled) then disappears. Through all of this, the printer never even wakes up.

Do you have this file: /var/log/cups/error_log

If so show the last 20 lines or so…
