[Software] [SOLVED] Cancel -a fails to clear printer queue

[Haines]

But the question regarding your post also remains:

[
I don't see how to check the origin of lprm
with the apt list command. What it returns is simply the version and status of the packages.

My investigation of the problem led into paths remote from queue issues, and I will start a new thread: Unable to locate printer

The hplip package was already installed.

Wireless easier to set up? I looked at the documentation and was a bit overwhelmed. So many choices! I'd like several machines to access my printer, including my wife's Mac and a Windows machines. How do I know if my printer supports IPP Everywhere? I'm told that a CUPS generated PPD uses the everywhere model and can be identified from the *PCFileName "ippeve.ppd" line in the PPD. Where is this PPD?

Why do I need a driverless print queue? I'm told to get the URI of the printer. It is ipps://HP%20LaserJet%20Pro%20M428f-M429f%20%5B8264A8%5D._ipps._tcp.local/. And then set up the print queue with $ lpadmin -p <print_queue_name> -v <URI> -E -m everywhere.
Is this all there is to set up wireless printing?

No, printer supports wifeless but is actually wired.

usb?

Note that IPP-over-USB reserves the USB interface connection with the printer/scanner exclusively for itself and communication with a printer/scanner device by software that does not operate using the IPP-over-USB protocol becomes impossible while ipp-usb is running. This is a consequence of the design of USB communication. It is not a bug in ipp-usb.

Hello @Haines,

Have you sorted it out ?

[Haines]

Thank you for asking. I did Debian upgrades for for many years rather than new installs. So forgot to install bsd-cups rather than lpr,.

I'm glad you got sorted.

Can you please mark the thread as solved adding the text tag "[Solved]" at the beginning of the subject of the first message (after other tags, if any) ? i.e. :

[Software] [Solved] Cancel -a fails to clear printer queue

Thanks.

[Haines]

Glad to add SOLVED to subject line, but no idea to do it. I can't edit the line

[arzgi]

Sure you can, edit your first post's header in the thread.

[Haines]

I suspect I managed to do it. Thanks
