It was not just about "turn it off and on again" :) In your previous
configuration file you had the printer on "socket://" without a port
specified. Now it's configured as an lpd spooler. So there is an
important difference there ;)
(just to reaffirm that re-staring, re-booting, re-configuring,
re-whatevering do no magic on their own :P).
