Description:
Note: This happens with HP printers using the hplip driver. I'm not sure if it is a CUPS or a hplip bug, but I think it is CUPS related. Nothing that I try to print with CUPS goes to the printer, it just sits in the job list saying "Pending". CUPS says the status of my printer is: Paused - "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" Restarting CUPS or DBus does nothing. Additional info: * package version(s): cups: 1.4.6-1 hplip: 3.11.3-1 Steps to reproduce: 1.- Install a network printer with hp-setup. 2.- Try to print. The message Printer Paused - "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" will appear in the cups log. 3.- The printer will be now marked as paused in the CUPS web interface. Solution: 1.- Start avahi-daemon. 2.- Resume the printer in the CUPS web interface. Requirement: Please add avahi-daemon to the dependencies of this package. Or at least as a optional dependency with a message notifying the user of the need to have running avahi-daemon for the printer to work. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=85454 for more information. Regards |

Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: avahi is already a dependency of libcups, which is a dependency of cups.

pacman -Si libcups
i guess you forgot to start avahi or force removing it at one point?
@Jan de Groot (JGC): avahi is only needed when using the printer as a network printer, not directly attached to the computer with an USB cable. In my case is a HP Photosmart D110, a wireless printer.
This bug is invalid. Thanks for your fast response.
