Printing Stalls

Printing goes fine until I take a break and, returning to the computer later on, print jobs wont be actioned, but just stay pending as per screenshot.
AI says CUPS can turn itself off after a while and offers sudo service cups restart, but that doesn't help.
lpstat -p -d says the printer is off and has been for a while, yet the printer is indeed on and connected via usb cable
I have flawless printing from my Mint 22.1 installation on this hardware. Printer is a Canon iX6800.
Has anyone got any pointers?

Make sure your printer has not gone to sleep. (ie turn off sleep mode)

And does this happen AFTER your computer has come out of hibernation or suspend?
__ If so, you might try turning off the USB PCI sleep / suspend and see if that resolves it.

Since your printer is connected through USB you might also check out USB auto suspend settings in TLP-UI.
The tlp defaults normally exclude printers from auto suspend - but make sure your printer's usbid is present in the USB DENYLIST just to make sure.

Printer not sleeping and computer is not set to suspend or hibernate. It's all strictly vanilla over here.

Also tlp settings are not turning anything off - all commented out.

Code: Select all

#USB_AUTOSUSPEND=1

# Exclude listed devices from USB autosuspend (separate with spaces).
# Use lsusb to get the ids.
# Note: input devices (usbhid) and libsane-supported scanners are excluded
# automatically.
# Default: <none>

#USB_DENYLIST="1111:2222 3333:4444"

# Exclude audio devices from USB autosuspend:
#   0=do not exclude, 1=exclude.
# Default: 1

Had to print jobs in the queue so rebooted the computer. Job 1 came out instantly, Job 2 now stalled on processing:

And again. Rebooting instantly sends the job. Crazy!

Try going into Print Settings from the menu

Right click on your printer, make sure 'enabled' is checked.

I have had the stalling thing, that turned out to be the culprit for me.

Thanks I did this but everything is as it should be. It's a real mystery.

It might be a good idea to make use of the config file and set it like below, because we have no idea what the hardcoded defaults are.

Code: Select all

USB_AUTOSUSPEND=0
Don't forget to reboot. I have had this setting for years and I have never had any problems with USB connected printers. These days I don't own a printer.

Thanks for this. I gave it a crack, but she's still dead. I'll put my tlp.conf here in case anyone wants to have a look.
Thanks everyone!

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# /etc/tlp.conf - TLP user configuration (version 1.4)
# See full explanation: https://linrunner.de/tlp/settings
#
# Settings are read in the following order:
#
# 1. Intrinsic defaults
# 2. /etc/tlp.d/*.conf - Drop-in customization snippets
# 3. /etc/tlp.conf     - User configuration (this file)
#
# Notes:
# - In case of identical parameters, the last occurence has precedence
# - This also means, parameters enabled here will override anything else
# - However you may append values to a parameter already defined as intrinsic
#   default or in a previously read file: use PARAMETER+="add values"
# - IMPORTANT: all parameters here are disabled; remove the leading '#' if you
#   like to enable a feature without default or have a value different from the
#   default
# - Default *: intrinsic default that is effective when the parameter is missing
#     or disabled by a leading '#'; use PARAM="" to disable an intrinsic default
# - Default <none>: do nothing or use kernel/hardware defaults

# via specific plugins, the actual support status is shown by tlp-stat -b.

# - ThinkPads may require external kernel module(s), refer to the output of

Just tried printing from a live MX USB. Printer found, added and working correctly. Something in my system must have got messed up in the year since I installed it.
