Colin, CUPS does not require HPLIP to work. If hplip is installed, new print queues are even automatically created with the "usb" backend of CUPS. The problem here is that the user created a print queue to which the HPLIP backend got assigned. Then he did an update and this uninstalled hplip, leaving the queue in a non-working state.
Andrew Laughton, your hplip package was indeed removed from your system during the update. Please re-install it with sudo apt-get install hplip Please report here when there occur problems while reinstalling the package. -- Backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp does not exist! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/636887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
