This issue occurred on a Debian Jessie system today with the following series of errors in the CUPS log while attempting to send print jobs:
E [20/Nov/2015:10:22:41 -0800] [Job 1828] Unable to send data to printer. E [20/Nov/2015:10:27:46 -0800] [Job 1828] Stopping unresponsive job. E [20/Nov/2015:10:47:07 -0800] Missing printer-uri, job-uri, or ppd-name attribute E [20/Nov/2015:10:47:07 -0800] [Client 17] Returning IPP client-error-bad-request for windows-ext (no URI) from 10.0.1.15 E [20/Nov/2015:10:50:07 -0800] Unable to communicate with avahi-daemon: An unexpected D-Bus error occured W [20/Nov/2015:11:16:25 -0800] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:profile id 'HP_LaserJet_1200-Gray..' already exists To Till Kamppeter above: for me the error was resolved by going to Administration -> Manage Printers -> HP_LaserJet_1200 -> In the dropdown that has "Maintenance" selected by default, select "Resume Printer". A UI problem is that "Resume Printer" should be a button, not an entry in a menu that otherwise changes screens. Bigger UI problem of course is lack of any indication that a printer is paused outside the "Resume" option appearing hidden in a drop-down menu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692568 Title: Printer shouldn't be paused after "hp" CUPS backend failed Status in HPLIP: Confirmed Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: cups When printing fails for some reason ("backend failed" message), printer is paused, and won't resume automatically, even after a reboot. This is silly because there's no notice about that in the print dialog nor in the print queue: you have to go to System->Administration->Printing, and be very clever to understand how to re-enable the printer. In most cases, the fact that something failed doesn't mean other documents won't print, and generally users will figure the error better by themselves than with a paused printer. This is in Lucid, cups 1.4.3-1ubuntu1.3 (not sure it's the same behavior in Maverick).
