Emacs suddenly not printing

[ara]

Suddenly, Emacs doesn't print, anything.  

Opening messages are below, and Emacs says it has streamed 
to the Default Printer, yet the printer icon of the Xfce 
screen at top right doesn't come on. 

Libre-Office Writer will print OK. Print icon on. 
Other applications will print OK. Print icon on. 

This may have happened when I installed TexLive recently. 
I'm still having problems with TexLive, as I chose custom 
directories to install to, rather than its defaults. 

I have uninstalled Emacs and Org, rebooted, then 
reinstalled both (Emacs via the Ubuntu Software Centre). 
No change, identical symptoms. 

Anyone have any suggestions for trouble-shooting this ? 
Its almost solely a Ubuntu issue, except Emacs seems to 
be the only thing not working.
