I have attempted to purge all references to hplip and re-install the packages included in 20.04 (which install 3.20.3) but that does not seem to change the results shown above. I'm noticing in the logs error reports " Printer Backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp does not exist!15 May 2020 10:52:34 AM PDT - " For my specific issue will see if I can obtain these files from another system I have as it looks like many people use the hp installer to repair/replace these missing files (but as noted above the HP installer even version 3.20.5) is not currently passing checks in Ubuntu 20.04 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878974 Title: Unable to use HP USB Printer in Ubuntu 20.04 - apear to be hplip issues To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1878974/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
