Installing a vendor printer driver is likely the issue. See
https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSDriverlessPrinting
For me (I own Kyocera ECOSYS), standard Linux driver for printer didn't
work out of box (if printer automatically discovered and automatically
configured, it was accepting print jobs, but these jobs were never got
printed).
Proprietary driver worked for Fedora 29, but stopped working somewhere
around Fedora 30 or 31. Probably because Fedora has broken support for
Python 2, while proprietary driver used it, I didn't investigate too deeply.
I was able to finally get printer working by manually configuring CUPS
with installing PPD file, borrowed from the proprietary driver.
To get scanner working, I had to write sane-airscan :-)
