> Make sure your print queue is enabled:

That was it. Before giving that command, Properties in the Printers GUI (for 
EPSON-Stylus-Photo-R300) hand shown a "Printer State:" of "off or unplugged", 
just like when I had first upgraded to oneiric and before taking the "proposed" 
kernel. Once I gave the cupsenable command (which produced no output), and 
tried Properties again, it had changed to "Idle". Once I saw "Idle", I knew it 
would work, which it did. Given all this, I believe that in the state it was in 
before the cupsenable, Properties should have shown for "Printer State:", 
instead of "off or unplugged", something more like "print queue disabled" with 
an option to enable it (or lacking that, a hint about the "cupsenable" 
command). Obviously, "off or unplugged" was incorrect (I wonder if there's a 
bug for that). Anyway, thank you. I am really grateful to have my printer 
working once again.
