Public bug reported:
I've tried everything I can find on the internet and on Ubuntu. Nothing
works: changing parameters as per instructions, no go. cat text
>/dev/usb/lp0 does not work either. Using cups the printer remains
steadfastly inactive. "Catting" wakes up the printer to indicate data is
received but nah.
The alternative ppd for printing over the network *works* however.
The usb cable is good: scanning works from Ubuntu.
I've upgraded oldish HP DM3 laptop to a ThinkPad T495s (nice machine)
but still stuffed for usb printing with this machine. (My old HP had no
issues)
