Solved with this workaround: 1) Install cups-pdf 2) Set cups-pdf as default printer (This builds the queue as expected) 3) Set the HPLIP printer as default printer.
Now lpq shows the HPLIP printer queue as expected. Printing to default lp works again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1390724 Title: Cups + cups-bsd not providing command line functionality Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: lp does not connecto to any printer queue lpq does not show any queue, does not manage anything cups installed, default printer assigned, cups-bsd installed. lpstat working but useless.
