I have just tried the simple fix shown above: sudo sed -i 's/HP (HPLIP)/HP/' /usr/share/ppd/hplip/*
The result is: sed: can't read /usr/share/ppd/hplip/*: No such file or directory -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35248 Title: Regression: CUPS does not print to HP Deskjet 3745 Status in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: The HP Deskjet 3745 USB printer worked under Hoary and Warty using the HP Deskjet 3740 print driver. In Breezy and Dapper I have failed to get it to work with the CUPS Deskjet driver (Deskjet 3740 doesn't exist anymore) or the hplip system. It can't even print a test page. CUPS appears to think the printer sent the test page fine and the page printed; it never makes it to the physical printer. It also seems to not notice the USB cable was pulled out; even though cups no longer sees the printer, it states its status is "Ready" at all times. Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'cups'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
