OS: Ubuntu 22.04 Printer: Canon MX540

Problem: Printer worked initially. Suddenly stopped working. Printer cue just says "pending" and printing never happens.

/var/log/cups/error_log shows:

E [05/Sep/2023:21:41:42 +0200] [Job 19] No destination host name supplied by cups-browsed for printer \"Canon_MX530_series\", is cups-browsed running?
W [05/Sep/2023:21:41:42 +0200] [Job 19] Backend returned status 4 (stop printer)

cups-browsed is running:

thorsten@tweedleburg:~$ ps -ef |grep browsed
root       11391       1  0 Sep03 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/cups-browsed

I got it working, it seems to be a bug in cups-browsed, more here: “No suitable Destination Host found by cups-browsed”

To get it working, I removed cups-browsed:

sudo apt-get purge --autoremove cups-browsed

restarted cups:

sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart

Deleted all printers manually: Settings -> Printers -> Canon MX530-series -> Settings -> Remove Printer Added printer manually: Settings -> Printers -> Additional Printer Settings -> Add -> Network Printers
