[SOLVED ]HP 1018 stopped printing... again

[mrizzone]

After some months doing things ok viewtopic.php?f=49&t=283451, my HP 1018 stopped printing. Do the same steps of the last time, but still unresponsive, only the ON led light switched on. No mayor changes/upgrades. Was running a heavy printing task (400 pages). Any clue?

Thanks!

Check to see if the printer is showing attached USB using the following command from Terminal.

Code: Select all

lsusb

400 page job is pretty big. Any chance the job is held? Have you checked Printers - then right mouse click on the 1018 - then View Print Queue to see jobs and status?

Thanks for your response! I have this:

I know nothing about USB ports but see buses 1, 4 and 5 repeated, I suppose this is abnormal and a possible cause of the failure, isn't?
