CentOS - Apr 2017 - HP USB printer accepts jobs, but won't print

My HP USB C3180 All-in-one printer accepts jobs, but does not print.
A job simply sits in the queue.
I haven't used it on this computer for a while.
It will print a test page when I connect it.

The last line from hp-info -i
is
04/07/17 13:26:21  5012   Device communication error        hennebry  0 
(I've removed some blanks.)

Any ideas on how to diagnose this?

I am a member of groups hennebry, sys, and lp.

[hennebry at localhost tmp]$ lpq
C3100 is ready and printing
Rank    Owner   Job     File(s)                         Total Size

[hennebry at localhost tmp]$

C3100 has been ready and printing for quite some time.
There ae no other printers or queues on the system.

Ugly, ugly ideas. Is it a "winprinter"? I have an old cute laserjet
1018,
and it's a damn winprinter. What this means is that after it's up, and
there's communications, I have to send it some data, stuff that WinDoze
would, and then it works.

Does lsusb show the printer?

No, because I plugged in the wrong thing.
The big read device not found message went by so fast, I never noticed it.
Noticed it when I went looking the pid and vid.

Thanks.

Feeling duh-ish.
