My printer has jobs waiting but does not print
I would like to print files using a terminal.
To do so I use the following command :
lp myfile.txt -d MyPrinter
The printer does not print anything but when I enter lpstat -o I have the following result:
MyPrinter-18 username 5120 wed. 13 february. 2019 10:09:53 CET
MyPrinter-19 username 5120 wed. 13 february. 2019 10:08:53 CET
MyPrinter-20 username 5120 wed. 13 february. 2019 10:10:53 CET
The result of lpstat -t is:
scheduler not running
no system default destination
device for MyPrinter: ipp://localhost:631/printers/MyPrinter
MyPrinter accepting requests since wed 13 February 2019 10:02:06 CET
MyPrinter now printing MyPrinter-15. enable since 13 February...
Waiting jobs to complete

Why won't my printer print the files?
EDIT : it's a new printer so I am wondering if the problem comes from the installation of the printer itself on the machine. I have no graphical view on the machine and I am a bit lost with the ppd file story.

I found what I was doing wrong. To install the printer, I used the lpdamin command but I was using the wrong uri.
To find out what uri I should use I had to use hp-setup -i and it displayed the uri to use.
I was then able to add my printer as follow :
lpadmin -p MyPrinter -E -v correct_uri -P ppd_file.ppd
