Good idea: $ sudo cupsenable ENVY_Photo_7800_series [sudo] password for bmike1: cupsenable: Operation failed: client-error-not-found maybe I got the name wrong. I guessed at that by looking at the CUPS output: ENVY-Photo-7800-seriesENVY-Photo-7800-series

The amount of print jobs the queue has has nothing to do with the queue being paused.  It's a state that the print queue is in.  You need to look around the properties of the printer itself and find something that will tell the print queue to resume or unpause the queue. try: sudo cupsenable

okay... I got all of the queues cleared (the ones in CUPS and the ones in the system tray) but CUPS still says it is paused (I can't get help from the mint forums, my password doesn't work and each time I reset it the new one isn't recognized). On Wed, Sep 11, 2019 at 8:34 PM Michael wrote: >

Because CUPS is saying queue is paused.  The queue doesn't get paused from printer errors, only from pausing it. The other piece of evidence that the printer is fine is that he can't print to it from another computer. Brian Cluff On 9/11/19 4:55 PM, Harold Hartley wrote: Why wouldn’t it be

Why wouldn’t it be the printer. The queue paused because it detected a problem on the printer hardware. On Wed, Sep 11, 2019, at 16:43, Brian Cluff wrote: > I'm sure it's not your printer. You print queue is paused, and it needs to be > resumed so that it will send print jobs to your printer

I'm sure it's not your printer.  You print queue is paused, and it needs to be resumed so that it will send print jobs to your printer again. Brian Cluff On 9/11/19 4:29 PM, Michael wrote: really? what did you clean and what with? On Wed, Sep 11, 2019 at 7:28 PM Harold Hartley

I’m just saying what my problem was. Did you run a diagnostic on your printer to see what it finds. I still think your problem is within your printer or cable connection. On Wed, Sep 11, 2019, at 16:29, Michael wrote: > really? what did you clean and what with? > > On Wed, Sep 11, 2019 at 7:28

OK.. you need to resume your print queue.  Until you do all the print queue will do will queue up jobs, but they will never print. Once the print queue is resumed anything that is in the queue will start to print. I can't remember which desktop you are running, but on KDE you can pause/resume

Have you tried turning it off and on again. It's a classic, but I think it will work in your case and in this case, I mean turn off the printer and then reboot the computer. Check to see if there is still a print job and if so, kill it. Then turn the printer back on and hopefully all
