Hello,
What to do now?
I give you the output.
Help me please, I can't print.
My regards Louise

Support for you printer was added in hplip 2.8.4

If you remove the printer then use the cups website:
Http://localhost:631

Then add the printer there. Does it work OK there?

Hello Andrew, I can't remove the printer the system>print> does not see the printer I can't do anything in that display only connect with cupsserver what failed. It said go to system> Administration>Server but I don't see or find this Administration.
I try to disconnect and restart and connect the printer, nothing, than restart but there is nothing different.
Please help,
Louise

What output do you receive for the command

systemctl status cups

(If the output ends with something like "lines 1-10/10 (END)", then you have to press the "q" key to continue.)

https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/cups-service-stopped-um-18-04/17381 describes a similar problem and proposes:

sudo cp /usr/share/cups/cupsd.conf.default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
systemctl restart cups

Hello Manfred,
I tried the sudo ... but nothing is happening
Have a good healthy weekend

The cups demon seems to be running again.
Now try removing and re-adding the printer.

Hi Manfred,
I removed the printer, I have tried this before, and now I can't add a
printer in the system.
May be you have a terminal solution to add the printer
🙏

It is clearly stated in the answer:
This web page:

The webpage doesn't work or exist, its just your localhost

Your cups server is down again.

What is the output of

sudo ls -l /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Maybe you are hit by the same problem as https://discuss.getsol.us/d/3882-fiddling-with-printer-cups-broke-cups-server/4

The output is:

Yes, somebody has again overwritten your cups configuration file with nonsense, and this leads to the situation that the cups server cannot start, and printing and printer configuration fails.

Try again with the following commands:

sudo cp /usr/share/cups/cupsd.conf.default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
systemctl restart cups

and then try accessing the web address

http://localhost:631

Do you get the cups server web interface loaded?
Can you define and configure the printer?

No sorry, doesn't work

http://localhost:631 is not a command to execute in the terminal window, but an address that you have to visit with your web browser. Just click on that link.

It worked. Yes now the website is/was working and I manage it to add the
printer by choosing the same printer but with a somewhat different name.
Thank you very much 👍

I do not know what there is going on.

What is the output of

sudo ls -l /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
sudo cat /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

It seems to me that somebody or something is replacing the cups configuration file with nonsense.
Do you follow some (maybe wrong) instruction that may have an effect on the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf?

The output is:
-rw-r----- 1 root lp 21 apr 29 13:31 /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Seems to be the same wrong replacement in the cups config file.
Can you remember which action you did today 13:31 o'clock?

Replacing the contents with the default should work, the same commands as before:

sudo cp /usr/share/cups/cupsd.conf.default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
systemctl restart cups

There is one additional problem:
For full access right to printing you have to be member of the lp (line printer) group. YOU seem not to be member of that group (but probably member of lpadmin - line printer administrators). You should add yourself to the lp group.

sudo usermod -a -G lp larooy

(This takes effect only after logging out and logging in again)

Hello Manfred,
I did the sudo's again and now it seem to work. I restart my computer twice
and the printer didn't go away and I have contact with the localhost.
Thank you very much, you did a great job!
