Decided to try to e-file federal only, if it would transmit by itself, and snail mail IN state. THAT WORKED.
Sorry you had all that trouble and frustration. I'm glad you at least got the Federal return efiled, since it is the IRS that is so far behind in processing mailed paper returns. A state mailed paper return will take longer for the state to process than efiling, but not nearly as long as a mailed Federal return would have.
Hopefully, your efiled Federal return has been (or soon will be) accepted by the IRS for processing.
Once your Federal return has been accepted, you can try efiling the Indiana return again by itself, to see if it will transmit by itself. There's no point in trying until/unless the Federal return efile is accepted. You can't efile a state return by itself if the Federal return is not accepted.
I didn't know until now that your state return is Indiana. I have seen threads in this forum where other users had trouble efiling their Indiana state return, such as these:

and

Looking at the list of Indiana forms, a few of the forms are not supported for efile. See the forms list here, and if you have any of the "unsupported" ones. Look at the second column which is the "efile" column.
