[Wylug-help] Printing

I'm having problems printing at the moment. I'm a Linux Newbie so pardon what
may seem like quite a gormless query.
I use SuSE Linux 9.1 Personal running on a Dell Dimension 4600, and my printer
is a Canon MP370.
Canon don't supply a Linux driver for this device, but I was able to get a
proprietary one from a German company called Turboprint, which was working
fine, until recently. This operates partly Open Source, but to get it working
without advertising you need to purchase a key code, which I did.
Unfortunately, I think that at some stage I've altered the printer path which
sends output to the USB port where the printer is connected, with the result
that jobs seem to sit in Kjobviewer and go nowhere, and when I check the job
report it says printer stopped, which it isn't.
Any ideas on how I check the paths, and start to get printing again?
Best wishes
