Perhaps take a look at https://wiki.debian.org/SystemPrinting#Driverless_Printing which has links to other Debian pages on the subject. You said "fix printing", so presumably it worked for you before. What changed? Have you upgraded, changed printers, etc? To go further, I think you have to post the usual essentials, OS version, printer type, what you tried, what happened, etc. Yes, you got a message, but that looks like the sort of warning that could be emitted even when the job actually printed. So on its own, it doesn't tell us a lot. Cheers, David.
