My HP USB C3180 All-in-one printer accepts jobs, but does not print. A job simply sits in the queue. I haven't used it on this computer for a while. It will print a test page when I connect it.

The last line from hp-info -i is 04/07/17 13:26:21 5012 Device communication error hennebry 0 (I've removed some blanks.)

Any ideas on how to diagnose this?

Ugly, ugly ideas. Is it a "winprinter"? I have an old cute laserjet 1018, and it's a damn winprinter. What this means is that after it's up, and there's communications, I have to send it some data, stuff that WinDoze would, and then it works.

Does lsusb show the printer?
