I have HP PSC 1400. Drivers are installed. Device is running up. Kernel is latest updated on 8/5/07. Before updation, printing worked. Now not working. Desktop Environment=XFCE4+GNOME

Print cmd accepted but no action.

i would recommend downloading and installing HPLIP. it solved my problem, on Fedora Core 6. i think that your printer is supported.

FC5 used to print fine with me, but on upgrading to FC6, printing didnt work. upgrading to latest HPLIP drivers, and CUPS worked.
