I have recently added a Xerox C325 multifunction printer to my home LAN.
When I originally plugged it in and ran some quick print tests from my Debian
stable system, everything seemed to be fine. But now, a few days later, I can
no longer persuade it to print :-(
The printer appears OK in CUP

My wife's Mac seems to be able to print to it just fine, so it doesn't appear
to be a problem with the printer.
I just tried with a Macbook Air laptop, and that prints fine as well (perhaps
not surprisingly, given that a Mac desktop works).

Based on my recent experience with a new HP MFP, are you using the Debian
package 'printer-driver-fujixerox'.?
