#229051 — Printer not Ready after Scan

FromDan Norton <dnorton@mindspring.com>

SubjectPrinter not Ready after Scan
Message-ID<BeXIS-57t-9@gated-at.bofh.it>
My printer on the desktop became not ready and my attempts to make it
ready have bit the dust. I don't print much, usually just text, using
the lp command. My printer worked fine until I used gscan2pdf to scan
one page to a pdf for an email. The pdf was created but gscan2pdf did
not terminate cleanly and I had to kill it. Now, print jobs are queued
and do not print. 

root@deb4:~# lpq
HP_LaserJet_3050 is not ready
Rank    Owner   Job     File(s)                         Total Size
1st     unknown 493     unknown                         1024 bytes

root@deb4:~# uname -v
#1 SMP Debian 4.19.152-1 (2020-10-18)

The HP 3050 is a usb-connected legacy printer on my desktop. Functions
include print, fax, and scan. The display window on the printer says it
is ready. The printer prints OK when connected to another PC. Some
things I've tried, not necessarily in order:

root@deb4:~# systemctl restart cups
root@deb4:~# apt remove hplip  # this is the driver for legacy printers
root@deb4:~# apt install hplip
root@deb4:~# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p "HP_LaserJet_3050"
root@deb4:~# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p HP_LaserJet_3050 -E
root@deb4:~# /usr/sbin/cupsenable --release HP_LaserJet_3050
lpadmin: The printer or class does not exist.

The cups error log (/var/log/cups/error_log) has complaints about blank
Name, unable to encrypt, and no URI. These don't seem relevant to me.

I have tried many things but not the right thing. There must be a
bit turned crossways somewhere. Please help.

root@deb4:~# /usr/sbin/lpc status
HP_LaserJet_3050:
	printer is on device 'hp' speed -1
	queuing is enabled
	printing is disabled

HP_LaserJet_3050_fax:
	printer is on device 'hpfax' speed -1
	queuing is enabled
	printing is enabled
	no entries

root@deb4:~# lpstat -p

printer HP_LaserJet_3050_fax is idle.  enabled since Thu 04 Oct 2018

Thanks,

A red herring. It is highly doubtful that a printing setup would be
affected by a scanning issue. IMO, of course.

This command doesn't do anything. It needs -v and -m options to be
added.

As above.

No destination has been setup. See above.

Missing URI? Nowhere for the job to go.

Thanks to Greg Marks, the answer is:

root@deb4:~# /usr/sbin/cupsenable HP_LaserJet_3050

and the printer is ready. Thanks Greg!
