I assume that you have tried restarting the system, and powering off &
on the printer? Printers can get junk stuck in their memory.
It could also be something like a lock file preventing any other
programs from accessing the printer. I'm not too sure how Mtink works
however, so I can't give you too much info about the possiblilty of lock
files.
