Your printing situation appears to be a sane one, so now for a test. Do
lp -d HLL2320D_coyote ANY_FILE_YOU_WANT
Is not working, shell appears frozen but eventually returns:
gene@bpi51:~$ lp -d HLL2320D_coyote printer.cfg
lp: The printer or class does not exist.
But HLL2320D_coyote does exist. It is seen in the outputs of 'lpstat -l -e'
and 'sudo lpinfo -v'. Give
lpoptopns -p HLL2320D_coyote
gene@bpi51:~$ lpoptions -p HLL2320D_coyote
device-uri=ipps://HLL2320D%20%40%20coyote._ipps._tcp.local/cups
printer-info='HLL2320D @ coyote' printer-make-and-model='Brother HL-L2320D
series' printer-type=25202710
The print queue specified by -p is queried for some information about itself.
Its reponse is given and it seems a very reasonable one.
lpoptions -p HLL2320D_coyote -l
gene@bpi51:~$ lpoptions -p HLL2320D_coyote -l
lpoptions: Unable to get PPD file for HLL2320D_coyote: The printer or class
does not exist.
The -l option asks the queue for the specific options it offers. The response
indicates something wrong with CUPS on bpi51. I haven't any problem when doing
this and getting sensible outputs on my Debian unstable machine.
