Muttprint is now working fine. The problem: the printer was offline! Now, before you go accusing me of being a complete dufus, let me say that I had no way of knowing that that condition existed. The printer itself indicated that it was online---no problem. What happened is that somehow, and I'm not sure what caused this, the printer became disengaged from its usb port. Weird. I noticed that this had happened when I tried to print from another program without success. The only way that I could get it talking again to usb was by doing a reboot. Rem
