Today I was helping someone get printing up an running on their Cube and
found that the toner cartridge was low (according to the printer).  The
interesting thing is that there was no alert panel issued when the job tried
to print.  It just sat there in the queue with the status of "Printing".
To make a long story short, I finally happened upon the Test... option of
the Printer app.  This is the coolest little thing.  It said that the
printer was low on toner.  So I opened the printer and rocked the cartridge
to get those extra miles out of it and put it back in the printer.  Low and
behold things worked after this, but there was no indication that things were
awry except by using the Test... option of the Printer app.  Hopefully, this
saves someone out there some time.
