USB printers don't print after upgrade

I have two USB printers connected to my desktop: one Brother HL-L2340 and one HP Officejet 6100. Both were working correctly under Linux Mint 17. I installed Linux Mint 18 KDE (last KDE) on my laptop. Connecting Brother HL-L2340 to the laptop, it works correctly (after installing Brother driver). Now I've installed Linux Mint 18 KDE on the desktop machine, too. I've kept the original /home directory which was on a separate partition. I've installed Brother driver. Now, neither printers work. Both lsusb and lpinfo -v report correct USB printer connection. When sending a printer job or "print test page", data shortly appears in the printer queue but quickly disappears. It seems, cups works correctly, sends data towards the printer but data never arrives to the printers. I have the impression the connection between cups and the USB interface is somehow broken. Restarting the machine or restarting cups does not help. Any idea?

Actually the only difference between the desktop and the laptop is, that the laptop did not contain an old (Mint 17) /home directory, Linux Mint 18 has been installed from scratch. But IMO this should not make any difference as the printer interface and its configuration files are stored in the system directories, rather than on the /home directory. Or am I mistaken?

Problem posted on Linux Mint Forum but got no answer.

Thanks,

John

Have you got gutenprint installed on both your computers?

It is likely to be a filter-related issue, and it could be that gutenprint is required as has already been suggested.

In general, to know more about why a print job is failing it is often helpful to put CUPS into debug mode first for more verbose logging. That can be done with

Code:
sudo cupsctl --debug-logging
Any stale/stuck printer jobs can be removed with
Code:
sudo cancel -a
Then send a print job, and examine /var/log/cups/error_log for errors, or filter-related output. It can be a lengthy file to examine with an editor or in a terminal, so use the time stamp information to see which section of output relates to a particular print job you might have sent. You could also filter the output for 'filter' and 'error' like this...

Code:
sudo cat /var/log/cups/error_log |egrep -iA4 "filter|error"
That can help with figuring out what is broken, missing etc. Even if you don't understand the output, post it here (enclosed within code tags) so that others who can help are able to review it.

I think no. For the Brother I installed the Linux driver from Brother website. The HP printer was on the Mint printer installation List. I did the same for the laptop and the desktop.

.....
After this it repeats several times.

I guess the problem is the "HTTP_STATE_WAITING Closing for error 32 (Broken pipe)"

However, I have no idea how to fix it.

No, unfortunately none of that snippet is relevant here. Remove the existing error_log with
Code:
sudo rm -f /var/log/cups/error_log
It will be recreated when CUPS is restarted and a print job started...

Restart CUPS with (assuming Linux Mint)
Code:
sudo systemctl restart cups
Send another print job, and see if something more definitive captured.


This command can be used to get the current filter configuration for all CUPS-configured printers (sometimes helpful to make sure configured as expected)....
Code:
sudo egrep -i "name|model|filter" /etc/cups/ppd/*

BTW, you can check if the gutenprint package is installed with

Code:
sudo dpkg -s gutenprint
or
Code:
sudo apt list --installed | grep gutenprint
*Some print drivers have a dependency on gutenprint as part of the filter chain.

I am a bit confused. The first command says:

Code:
sudo dpkg -s gutenprint
dpkg-query: package 'gutenprint' is not installed and no information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
The second one:

Code:
sudo apt list --installed | grep gutenprint
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.
libgutenprint2/xenial,now 5.2.11-1 amd64 [installed]
printer-driver-gutenprint/xenial,now 5.2.11-1 amd64 [installed]
Now is it installed or not? Or only its libraries are installed? (the Mint-KDE printer installation listed many printers - but not the Brother HL-L2340) Or installed but not activated?

Thanks,

John

Ok, I note the following was logged...
Code:
E [13/Nov/2019:07:40:24 +0100] [cups-deviced] PID 3165 (gutenprint52+usb) stopped with status 1!
Is your system fully updated?

I've seen a couple of threads where users experiencing the same error found that removing 'printer-driver-gutenprint' did the trick. Worth a shot and easy enough to reinstall it if necessary. (Likely not needed with your printer driver anyway.)
Code:
sudo apt clean
sudo apt remove --purge printer-driver-gutenprint
sudo apt autoremove --purge
Try that, and report back.

make sure the user is in the "lp" and/or "lpadmin" groups. And be sure to reconfigure the printer with cups.

localhost:631

Some software / printers need special things. Like pnm2ppa or cups-bsd for older lp/lpr tools.

$ sudo apt-get install printer-driver-pnm2ppa cups-bsd

The pnm2ppa is a dependency for some hp inkjets like my 722C. Without it, it pretends to print, but doesn't print. With everything software wise saying success with no errors. The cups admin page shows pnm2ppa for that printer, otherwise package management for hplip does not grab it as a dependency. I also need to manually grab the .ppd for that printer. Which in my case is located at:

https://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-DeskJet_722C

For networked printers, cups uses email to manage jobs. So cupsd, cups-browsed, and exim4 need to be running. On my debian installs anyway.

I did this, nothing changes. Job in the printer queue for a short time, no printing. After reboot the same.

Thanks,

The system itself, yes. As I mentioned, when upgrading to Mint 18.3 I kept the /home directory, with all its content, the hidden files, too. Thus actually the old private config files might control the replaced programs.

The "sudo cat /etc/group" shows that I am in the lpadmin group.
