I have no problems with printing to the Samsung or the PDF queue, but with the HP printer I am able to print some things by running 'lp<<file.pdf' on either the local CUPS server or any client machines. However, I am unable to print from any GUI apps (eg. Firefox, OpenOffice, Thunderbird), when I send a job through from any of them the job just sits in the queue with a "job-stopped" alert.

Check the /var/log/cups/error_log file for errors...
