Printer Paused - "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" [SOLVED]

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.

I didn't notice any updates relating to CUPS so am not sure what exactly happened. I sync and update many times a day, so at least I know a timeframe. The last time I printed something was at:
Sat 21 Nov 2009 03:05:18 PM PST

Now nothing works. I really need to get this working, so any help would be greatly appreciated.


EDIT2:
Near as I can tell it is not indeed a package update problem, sorry. I suppose this is in the wrong forum now.
Here is my /var/log/cups/error-log

Anyone else who gets this problem and freaks out: All you have to do is go to the CUPS printer administration page and click "Resume Printer". roll

Re: Printer Paused - "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" [SOLVED]

I am having this same issue but simply resuming the printer won't change anything....

I always see this message when I try printing ....

"/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed"

but if I just call it from the command line, it shows me my printer info...

[somekool@rockinTV test]$ /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp
direct hp:/usb/deskjet_5550?serial=MY27G1J3CK2L "HP deskjet 5550" "HP deskjet 5550 USB MY27G1J3CK2L HPLIP" "MFG:hp;MDL:deskjet 5550;CLS:PRINTER;DES:deskjet 5550;SN:MY27G1J3CK2L;"
[somekool@rockinTV test]$

by looking further... I found two more error message...

"io/hpmud/musb.c 136: unable get_string_descriptor -1: Operation not permitted"

and

prnt/backend/hp.c 745: ERROR: open device failed stat=12: hp:/usb/deskjet_5550?serial=MY27G1J3CK2L

full log below

please help !!!

Re: Printer Paused - "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" [SOLVED]

I had to change "Group sys" to "Group lp" in /etc/cupsd.conf

that fixed it.

but the testpage does not work.

it greats a banner file in /var/spool/cups/ that is owned by root:nobody, lp can't read it.
this file should be root:lp instead of root:nobody but I dont know how to change that.

except from the test page print, it all works very well now

thanks

Similar, except that I can't print anything, testpage or otherwise.

cups/error_log has a few interesting lines when I try to print:

Changing the permissions of /usr/lib/cups/backend/hal and /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb didn't seem to have any effect.

I effin' hate CUPS.

Re: Printer Paused - "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" [SOLVED]

This is still not solved for me, I can't print anything. Resuming the printer does not work. My printer is an HP network printer (no usb).

All jobs pause the printer with /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed. Dbus is installed and running.

hp-toolbox returns error: Unable to communicate with device (code=12): hp:/net/HP_LaserJet_M1120n_MFP?zc=NPI17FD5E error: Device not found

This is very very strange because on my other arch pc with the same packages and the same settings the printer works normally.

Can anyone help?

Ok, after hours of searching, i finally solved this. In case anyone else has the same problem, my problem was fixed after installing avahi daemon.

Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

Re: Printer Paused - "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" [SOLVED]

Another thing to verify...and this DID solve my issue, is to ensure that the avahi-daemon comes BEFORE cups or other printer related stuff in the rc.conf.  (In my case the ptal-init as well.)  As soon as the avahi daemon is placed ahead of cups and ptal, suddenly ALL of my printing issues went away.

My example here:


DAEMONS=(syslog-ng crond dbus networkmanager ntpd  avahi-daemon ptal-init @cups clamav sensors dropboxd netfs)

I need a help. After I did Ubuntu upgrade, I was not able to print anything. I found the following message in my error_log file.

Again.

Resume Printer doenst make anything

Stop all jobs, stop cups, and then start cups, returns:

"/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed"

Avahi-daemon restart and same message.

hpcups 3.12.4

Re: Printer Paused - "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" [SOLVED]

I don't know if this is of any help, but since the last HPLIP update, I noticed that the printer must NOT been in "sleep" mode, or otherwise 'hp-makeuri <your printer ip>' and 'hp-check -t' fail for the printer that I'm connecting to. I'm using an IP connection.

If I walk over to the printer and then press some buttons on the printer, HPLIP/Cups starts to work.

I know, it defies logic, but as far as I can tell, this is the only way I can print. Btw: my printing was working fine until the last update to HPLIP, if I'm not mistaken.

Re: Printer Paused - "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" [SOLVED]

Hi there,

I had the same problem after the upgrade to kubuntu 12.04

Since I ended up in this thread after a long time of looking for answers, I thought I'd just have to put my solution here.


1. reinstalled, purged, installed, and whatnot, days went by,   I  w e n t  n u t s  !

2. put lp into my user group in system settings ... didn't do anything, or did it now?

3. read about /usr/lib/cups/backend not being chmodded right and that did the trick for me! chmodded the folder (and its contents) 755, so rwxr-xr-x I think, and everything was fine!

ajoker's output makes sense now, doesn't it?

E [04/Nov/2011:17:26:30 +0100] [Job 146] Stopping job because the sheduler could not execute the backend.


Now that I can print again, I have to catch up with work ... urgh!

Hope it helps,
cheers!

Anyone else who gets this problem and freaks out: All you have to do is go to the CUPS printer administration page and click "Resume Printer". roll

Or you can do the same in command line :

sudo cupsenable HP-LaserJet-1018

Where HP-LaserJet-1018 is the name of your printer like you can find in the cups printer adminsitration
