Printer is not accepting jobs in RHEL
Issue
-
We're trying to print to a printer, but we're getting the following message in the CUPS Error Log:
D [25/Jan/2021:10:51:19 -0500] Create-Job server-error-not-accepting-jobs: Destination "printer-Xerox6510dn" is not accepting jobs.
-
The output of
lpstat -t
for a print queue shows that the queue is enabled, but not accepting jobs:$ lpstat -t | grep PR3415 device for PR3415: socket://10.1.2.3 PR3415 not accepting requests since Mon Feb 8 15:06:24 2021 - printer PR3415 is idle. enabled since Mon Feb 8 15:06:24 2021

We configured the printer, but queuing is disabled state:
# lpc status PR3415 PR3415: printer is on device 'socket' speed -1 queuing is disabled printing is enabled no entries daemon present
