More on this. I (re)installed the printer after deleting it. Now I see cups has three entries: HP office jet 4630 series, HP office jet 4630 @Lenovo desktop, and HP office jet fax @Lenovo desktop. The first of these has the address http://localhost:631/printers/HP-Officejet-4630-series, the 2nd and 3rd have ipps:// addresses. The first also has a status of "idle, waiting for job to complete." The others are "idle."
I only installed it once; printing is successful. I am baffled. -Denis On Mon, Oct 2, 2017 at 10:28 AM, Denis Heidtmann <denis.heidtm...@gmail.com> wrote: > That certainly seems to match my experience.
