Hi all,

                     Busy - "Waiting for the printer to become available."

I cannot get HP printer 2100 Series to run.

For beginning analysis I tried the obvious:

    $ lsusb

    $ sudo cat /etc/cups/printers.conf | egrep -i 'model|device'

What I found interesting is:

    scheduler is running   

I didn't start a scheduler and had no idea to kill the scheduler.

I see here, the document ''Anschreiben_A.docx'' is in queue.

Hope someone can help...

Kind regards
