Hello: This occurs in openSUSE Leap 15.1 with its default cups version (CUPS 2.2.7). I have a HP Laserjet P3015 printer attached to the computer via USB cable. The print queue setup is OK and many times printing occurs without any problem. But occasionally the printer completely freezes when I try to print something. I could not find out yet what causes the printer freezes. When the printer is frozen it doesn't print and even does not respond to any of its buttons. When this occurs the print job is halted and is stored in the print queue:
lpstat -o laserjet-3847 unknown 80896 Tue 10 Aug 2021 11:15:14 AM CEST
lpstat -p printer laserjet now printing laserjet-3847. enabled since Tue 10 Aug 2021 11:15:14 AM CEST Processing page 1...
Here is my problem (apart from the printer freeze): If I restart (switch off and on) the printer, the print job is waiting quite long before printed. Eventually it gets printed but is takes several minutes. I would expect that after restarting the printer the print job is printed immediately. How could I achieve that? In /etc/cups/printers.conf file the ErrorPolicy is set to retry-job for the printer: <Printer laserjet> ... ErrorPolicy retry-job </Printer> Thanks in advance, Istvan
