[Solved] CUPS + laserjet 1020 - print jobs stuck on "pending"

I'm trying to make my arch installation print using a HP laserjet 1020 printer.

The hp standard hplip package seems to not support this printer, so I installed foo2zjs-nightly instead as suggested in the wiki ().

I followed the instructions from
1. https://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP … erJet_1020
2. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/foo2zjs-nightly
3. https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/ht … gllgm.html

The hp standard hplip package seems to not support this printer, so I installed foo2zjs-nightly instead as suggested in the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS/P … ms#foo2zjs).

$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 03f0:2b17 HP, Inc LaserJet 1020

$ lpinfo -v
direct usb://HP/LaserJet%201020?serial=S43383Z

$ lpq -a

2nd     user    19      File1                         324000 bytes

$ lpstat -p

How to fix this?

Printer wasn't "enabled" by default. Was able to do that using the cups web interface (localhost:631).
