Description

I use sysvinit in MX Linux (debian 10 based).

Here is what works:

  1. I start MX Linux
  2. I start the HP printer
  3. I run the command sudo ipp-usb standalone -bg
    -> The printer is created (ipp://mx.local:60000/ipp/print)
  4. 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.
