I have my wife using Manjaro Gnome on a Thinkpad T-series laptop. We are using an HP Officejet which generally works very well. However, we frequentlly need to go into the hplip app and manually press the “Start Printer” button under the “Printer control” tab. Often, after booting, for some reason the printer’s default is stopped and it needs that manual start to send jobs.
Does anyone have any insight on why this might be? Amazing that printing is still maddening in 2020. Thanks!
The last stable update required manual intervation in the printer functionality,paste each command in the terminal to make it bootable automatically then reboot ,this should fix your problem.
