Have managed a CUPS printer addition, but the queue is a black hole.

Show all headers | View raw

After a fresh update of CUPS, and a fresh "Add Printer", selecting the first
(gutenberg) model option, printing a pdf page from xpdf caused display
of GUI message boxes indicating "printing started" and "printing
completed", but no printer output.

At localhost:631 -> Job Management, "Show all jobs" gives:
▲ ID ▲               Name     User  Size  Pages    State
HP-LaserJet-3050-1   Unknown Withheld 8k Unknown completed at Sat Jun 23
20:42:53 2018

so CUPS processed the job, but the printer stands silently oblivious,
displaying "Ready". So why no printing?

I'd like to try an "lpc up", but lpc seems not to be there, and I don't
know which package would have it.

Any prodding in the direction of an exit from the maze would be most
welcome.
