Unable to print to HP printer using "hp" backend
Issue
We have added a printer using:
lpadmin -p hpprinter -v hp:/net/HP_LaserJet_400_M401dn?ip=10.1.2.3 -m /lsb/usr/HP/hp-laserjet_400_m401dne-ps.ppd.gz -E
however, print jobs submitted are stuck in the queue and do not print. The lpstat command indicates that the job is printing:
# lpstat -p
printer hpprinter now printing hpprinter-6. enabled since Fri Oct 15 09:54:28 2021
but nothing is actually printed.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
- Common Unix Printing System (CUPS)
