Printer giving up silently since upgrade

[Laura Conrad]

I upgraded my Desktop to 10.10 from 10.04 last week, and now I'm having
trouble printing some of my files.  One file in particular just causes
the printer to turn on all its lights and sit there.   I have looked at
syslog, messages, and /var/log/cups/*, and there don't seem to be any
error messages.

The printer is a Brother HL5250DN.

This file can be printed (on the same printer) from both a Windows
machine and my 10.04 laptop.

Does anyone have any ideas for what I can do to fix this?

And now in this the twentieth century come these talking and playing
machines and offer again to reduce the expression of music to a
mathematical system of megaphones, wheels, cogs, disks, cylinders, and
all manner of revolving things which are as like real art as the
marble statue of Eve is like her beautiful living breathing daughters.

Under such conditions, the tide of amateurism cannot but recede until
there will be left only the mechanical device and the professional
executant. Singing will no longer be a fine accomplishment; vocal
exercises so important a factor in the curriculum of physical culture
will be out of vogue. Then what of the national throat? Will it not
weaken? What of the national chest? Will it not shrink?
