I have recently added a Xerox C325 multifunction printer to my home LAN.
When I originally plugged it in and ran some quick print tests from my Debian
stable system, everything seemed to be fine. But now, a few days later, I can
no longer persuade it to print :-(
The printer appears OK in CUPS. As of right now, the status page at the CUPs
port, http://127.0.0.1:631, says that the printer is: (Paused, Accepting Jobs,
Not Shared), and there are two jobs visible in the printer's queue.
If I go to Maintenance and click "Resume", CUPS says "Printer
Xerox_R_C325_Color_MFP has been resumed". But neither of the queued pages is
printed, and after a few seconds, the page goes back to saying: (Paused,
Accepting Jobs, Not Shared).
If I cancel the two queued jobs, and then do:
Maintenance | Resume
the printer state becomes:
(Idle, Accepting Jobs, Not Shared)
But as soon as I send a job to print (for example: Maintenance | Print Test
Page), the job appears on the queue and the status becomes (Paused, Accepting
Jobs, Not Shared).
So it seems that what appears to be happening is that as soon as a job is sent
to the printer, it enters the Paused state, and the job never actually prints.
Any advice gratefully received.
