I have a shell script code that prints any new PDF generated to a Brother printer which is connected to a MACOS using the below command

Code:lp -d Brother_HL_L2350DW_series /var/pdfs/11.pdfAfter 2 or 3 days the printer stops to print and I see the printer queue growing with the error message The printer is not responding. See below snapshot:

Code:tail /var/log/cups/error_log

E [26/Apr/2021:13:38:45 +0200] [Job 15850] The printer is not responding.

sudo journalctl -b 0 -u cups
-bash: journalctl: command not foundIf I manually power off and power on the printer it works and starts the pending prints.

Thus my requirement is to have linux MacOS commands for the below tasks:

1. Reset / Restart the printer using command-line
2. Reprint the Printer Queue
