Is the printer turned on and plugged in?
Is the printer off-line? Try checking any lids or other "openable"
parts.
Is the printer cable properly seated on each end? How about the
power cable to the printer?

Craig's suggestion on checking error logs is a good idea. You might
also try asking CUPS to provide more output.

Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf then do try restarting CUPS and see what you
get.
