My HP 2600 printer stopped printing, and their isn't a printer model now in the settings? the error message says the printer is paused? Now, I just see a"generic printer" when I hit the print tab, but there isn't a printer connected in the settings. Any help is greatly appreciated.

What information does the panel menu on the printer provide you about the printer status?
How is the printer connected? If it is a networked printer, can you ping it? If it is a multi-function printer, can you still scan/copy with it? How old is the printer? It is a harsh reality that stuff wears out. |
The message says CUPS server is in error. This is what comes up: /run/cups/cups.sock
I can scan/copy fine. The printer is connected directly by network. I don't understand ping. I bought the printer in 2017. |
@frankbell: Faulty hardware won't cause the printer configuration to disappear.
@sudo1: Most likely you'll need to reconfigure CUPS again. Not a big deal. I assume this printer model was supported by the HPLIP driver, so check that package is still installed, and then run Code:
hp-setup |
Thanks! It works now!
I appreciate your help!

So, working again now?

All that ping actually does is to send a stream of control codes which the site is supposed to echo back. No echoes means no connection. |
