[Till Kamppeter <572125@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have seen that foo2zjs (third-party driver for ZJS-based HP LaserJet
printers) has a paper out resetter utility which offers a button to the
user which he has to click after reloading paper. The utility does not
more than polling the device ID when clicking the button. So polling the
device ID must have the effect of signalling the printer that paper was
reloaded and so make it continue to work.

So remove paper from the printer so that it is insufficient for the next
print job, print a job making the printer running out of paper, reload
paper, and then do one of the following tests:

1. Run

sudo usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0

2. Run

/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb

3. Run

lpinfo -v

As all of these poll the device ID from the printer, your printer must
continue now printing the job.

To the developers at HP: Please add a paper out resetter.
