Description
I use sysvinit in MX Linux (debian 10 based).
Here is what works:
- I start MX Linux
- I start the HP printer
- I run the command
sudo ipp-usb standalone -bg
-> The printer is created (ipp://mx.local:60000/ipp/print) - I print with the command
lp -d HP_ENVY_5540_series_341375_USB_ /home/Golddouble/loschDruckversuch.txt
-> It prints. All is as expected.
Then I turn my printer off and immediately start it again.
Here is what does not work:
I just repeat the command lp -d HP_ENVY_5540_series_341375_USB_ /home/Golddouble/loschDruckversuch.txt
-> It does not print. There is no error or warning in the terminal. But the printing job just is stuck in the printing queue.
What can I do? Thank you.
Edit:
ipp-usb is installed, but
ippusbxd is not installed. Do I need ippusbxd?
Edit2:
It doesn't matter if I use
ipp-usb_0.9.19-1+50.2_amd64.deb or
ipp-usb_0.9.17-1+48.2_amd64.deb
Same behaviour.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on MX Linux with sysvinit by starting ipp-usb standalone -bg, printing with lp, restarting the printer, and printing again. Investigate the printer queue behavior after the device reconnects; done means a job submitted after the restart prints without remaining stuck and without requiring manual recovery.
