Thank you for the response

lpstat -t gives:
scheduler is running
system default destination: Officejet_Pro_8600_N911a
device for Officejet_Pro_8600_N911a: socket://192.168.1.5:9100
Officejet_Pro_8600_N911a accepting requests since Mon 28 Aug 2017

printer Officejet_Pro_8600_N911a is idle.  enabled since Mon 28 Aug 2017 
05:24:28 PM PDT

Yes 'lp -d Officejet_Pro_8600_N911a <file>' prints.
Just lp <file> gives: lp:Error - no default destination aviilable

running lpoptions print out, lists the proper url and name of the printer.

I have a virtual machine - also Debian Stretch - that acts the exact 
same way.

I have another computer with Stretch installed that works fine.

Vary confused.
