I have just [re]installed an HP Laserjet Pro M15w printer on my T470
laptop which runs Debian 12.
The CUPS test page prints succesfully but nothing else seems able to
print. The CUPS Print Status window shows the job for a few seconds
but then it flashes the red cross indicating an error and the job
disappears.
I have discovered that using lpr from the command line works (just
plain text in other words).
This printer used to work fine, all I have changed is the WiFi
connection because I changed the router.
The driver being used is drvless.ppd.
What might be wrong?
In the CUPS error_log it says:-
E [11/Feb/2025:15:31:05 +0000] [Job 49] Print job canceled at printer.
W [11/Feb/2025:15:31:05 +0000] [Job 49] Backend returned status 5 (cancel job)
Which isn't very helpful!
It looks as if something is awry with the driver maybe and the printer
is getting sent what it thinks is rubbish. However, as I said, this
did used to work, as far as I'm aware all that has changed is the WiFi connection via a different router.
