Under Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) there are no issues with this printer.
Under TARA (Mint19) The printer is found and defined. I have several options for the URI but it will not print a test page.
Even if I give it exactly the same device URI as what works for Ubuntu 18.04 it still will not work.
The CUPS troubleshooter advises so check the logs with Journalctl and this is what I see:

No idea why it labels the line wiht the error a
. Fax never shows up in any of the setup screens./fax
The Printer is obviously fine. And it should not be an issue with systemd or the kernel since Ubuntu 18.04 works fine. So it must be a MINT 19 problem, and maybe not with just my printer but maybe with the CUPS setup.
Here are settings that work with Ubuntu 18.04 and which I have copied verbatim into Mint19
(I also tried many other settings in Mint19, some of which work in Sylvia, and they also fail).
