lpr not printing

I have an HP inkjet printer connected to an lubuntu laptop with a USB cable, installed under CUPS as "inkjet". I can print with AbiWord OK, and a printer test page prints OK from the printer properties dialog, but if I try to print from the command line with "lpr -Pinkjet", nothing happens. I don't get any error message, and the inkjet print queue shows as empty. lpstat shows the print queue as empty.
I am running Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS. The printer driver is hp-envy_4510_series-hpijs.ppd.
Any ideas?
* Edit 11 Dec 2018 *
I see some error messages in the CUPS error log:
E [11/Dec/2018:09:08:43 -0500] Unknown directive JobPrivateAccess on line 85 of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.

I am too ignorant of CUPS to know what to do about them or to judge their severity, so I would appreciate any advice.

I am new to Ubuntu and Linux, so I list a lot of basics you may be aware of.
I was using Bottle 43.2 ,USB cabled connecting to a Canon printer. All I could get at first, was worse than your issue, I was unable to print at all,but: only the "Green" LED basic power & "print mode" LED would blink using any way (icon or terminal).
This command identified my issue.
sudo hp-check -r
Never used distro you gave, but
Your terminal command may come in two steps:
$ su -
Puts you in "Super User" mode with your password.
Then,
$ hp-check-r
This indicated 2 problems: Found CUPS not configured properly & I had the wrong driver.

Thank you for your help. I am new to Ubuntu too and was not aware of hp-check, which led me to looking at the CUPS error log, but I haven't been able to fix the problem yet. I edited the post and added some info from the CUPS error log, maybe you could take a look.
