eggcups isn't part of CUPS, so you are better off reporting this to your Linux distributor.

That's when I saw the message on the console and clicked on Restart.  So one of these two things must have fixed the problem.  If it was the "cups restart", maybe I didn't wait long enough before trying the lpstat?
