I think lpstat should have shown the existence of the queue, as lpq -a did.

Let's look at its man page (man lpstat): DESCRIPTION lpstat displays status information about the current classes, jobs, and printers. *When run with no arguments*, lpstat will list active jobs queued by the current user. But last I remember, you did not have a default printer. You can check with -d Shows the current default destination. example: cer@Telcontar:~> lpstat -d system default destination: cp1510n_ps cer@Telcontar:~> -e Shows all available destinations on the local network. example: cer@Telcontar:~> lpstat -e cp1510n_ps cp1515n_hpijs cp1515n_pcl3 cer@Telcontar:~> -p [printer(s)] Shows the printers and whether they are enabled for printing. If no printers are specified then all printers are listed. example: cer@Telcontar:~> lpstat -p printer cp1510n_ps is idle. enabled since 2021-01-30T21:24:02 CET File "/Library/Printers/hp/Profiles/Gray_A.icc" not available: No such file or directory printer cp1515n_hpijs is idle. enabled since 2020-10-23T22:15:18 CEST printer cp1515n_pcl3 is idle. enabled since 2020-09-29T00:00:55 CEST cer@Telcontar:~> -s Shows a status summary, including the default destination, a list of classes and their member printers, and a list of printers and their associated devices. This is equivalent to using the -d, -c, and -v options. -t Shows all status information. This is equivalent to using the -r, -d, -c, -v, -a, -p, and -o options. example: cer@Telcontar:~> lpstat -s system default destination: cp1510n_ps device for cp1510n_ps: socket://bilbo.valinor:9100 device for cp1515n_hpijs: socket://bilbo.valinor:9100 device for cp1515n_pcl3: socket://bilbo.valinor:9100 cer@Telcontar:~> cer@Telcontar:~> cer@Telcontar:~> lpstat -t scheduler is running system default destination: cp1510n_ps device for cp1510n_ps: socket://bilbo.valinor:9100 device for cp1515n_hpijs: socket://bilbo.valinor:9100 device for cp1515n_pcl3: socket://bilbo.valinor:9100 cp1510n_ps accepting requests since 2021-01-30T21:24:02 CET cp1515n_hpijs accepting requests since 2020-10-23T22:15:18 CEST cp1515n_pcl3 accepting requests since 2020-09-29T00:00:55 CEST printer cp1510n_ps is idle. enabled since 2021-01-30T21:24:02 CET File "/Library/Printers/hp/Profiles/Gray_A.icc" not available: No such file or directory printer cp1515n_hpijs is idle. enabled since 2020-10-23T22:15:18 CEST printer cp1515n_pcl3 is idle. enabled since 2020-09-29T00:00:55 CEST cer@Telcontar:~> -v [printer(s)] Shows the printers and what device they are attached to.

I then cleared the  queue with lprm -P, as you can see, and the queue is gone, but no output resulted.

Means no error. This is the correct expected behaviour.

I then went to a laptop with a Linux system (not OS-TW) on it and repeated the exercise, which shows the LaserJet working fine.

What now?   --doug

At least one correspondent talked me out of that, at least temporarily. It does look like the crashing problem was related to eset, which I have removed.

I think lpstat should have shown the existence of the queue, as lpq -a did. Let's look at its man page (man lpstat):

...

The first two items work as specified. The third one is a problem:

doug@linux1:~> lpstat -d no system default destination doug@linux1:~> lpstat -e epson HP_LaserJet_Pro_M201dw doug@linux1:~> lpstat -p printer epson disabled since Sun 14 Feb 2021 01:53:15 PM EST -         Paused printer HP_LaserJet_Pro_M201dw disabled since Sun 14 Feb 2021 01:53:12 PM EST -         File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/hpps" not available: No such file or directory

It is telling you that epson printer is disabled, so it will not print, and that the HP is missing a file, so perhaps that's the reason it does not print. And also the command says you do not have set a default printer, so do set it.

doug@linux1:~> lpstat -s no system default destination device for epson: lpd://192.168.1.26/LPT1 device for HP_LaserJet_Pro_M201dw: hp:/net/HP_LaserJet_Pro_M201dw?ip=192.168.29

No default printer. Do set one.

-t Shows all status information. This is equivalent to using the -r, -d, -c, -v, -a, -p, and -o options.

You have to install hplip, as we have told you often. Use YAST. Same procedure as we explained for any package. Use the search function in yast "software management". Do not try to "download" anything.

I know installing the printers was a hassle for me and for the readers and responders  of this form, but I'm wondering if DEinstalling them and starting over would be the best solution, or is there something hiding in there that doesn't like me?????

I have to make an observation. I've used Linux for a long time, much of it with PC Linux OS, which was nice until they "upgraded" it--castrated it, is more likely--but it was a bit of a hassle since some of the new assisting apps like YUM and YaST and zypper that OS has did not exist. OTOH, these apps are not transparent, and take some getting used to. I wonder if there is perhaps a bit more complication there than there needs to be --just thinking. . . .

A couple of weeks ago (when it seemed to me that I needed another system) I installed Mint 19 386 on an old laptop. I had to find a way to install KDE, because Mint doesn't like it anymore, which I did. Once I did that, I would have to admit that a bunch of things go easier in that system. One of those things was the VERY SIMPLE installation of both printers, and they work without any problems at all! I'm not about to abandon OpenSUSE, but maybe someone should look into the complications that are part of this system. /rant off/ --doug

Look. I installed my HP printer a decade ago on this computer, and it keeps working and working. I did not need to install it again ever, in years. Sometimes I install a laptop or a virtual installation, and it is trivial to do. I travelled to Canada on 2018. My cousin wanted to buy a printer, so I helped her to choose one. They use Windows, worked fine. Then I wanted to install it on my travel laptop: I only needed a newer version (I use Leap). Again, very easy. Of course, prior to buying a printer you have to check in advance that it works fine with Linux. Your Epson printer doesn't. And then you chose to use Tumbleweed, which makes things harder. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

If it would be better to remove the printers and start this part of the system over, what is the best way to do that? If not, when what? Common, you know the drill. Run all these commands:

lpstat -a lpstat -s lpstat -t lpstat -r

and paste the result here. Don't describe what the commands say, paste it all here. And this goes for every Linux problem: paste commands used and results that show the problems, in a single sweep of the mouse.

_Apparently you haven't seen the message that I tried to send last night._ The printers are working, but there is still a problem with the epson. Maybe I forgot to post the routines I went thru--it was 3AM and I was a bit sleepy. Here is the routine: Went to System Settings, Printers. Each printer was listed as printer paused. I reset it to printer ready (or whatever the word is) and each printer prints! However, the epson is bitching about the paper size again, even tho all the places I have looked recently for paper size say *letter* which is 8½ x 11.

Just the one option. I'll try to print a multi page document and see what happens, but I don't like a half-baked solution.

In my case, it contains:
