Hi Folks!

If you are having problems printing in Ubuntu (may be other flavours of 
Linux) the problem is a "plugin incompatability in a recent upgrade".  
You're probably get a dead-face icon with this message below: "Sorry! The 
printing service does not seem to be available" in Settings > Printers.

.... Printer not ready.
 Could be a fatal error.
 Have a pen handy?
