Anyone with problems here, please

- If you have a Snap of HPLIP installed, uninstall it, the one I know of
is experimental

- Remove any HPLIP version installed directly from HP

- Re-install Ubuntu's HPLIP via the command:

  sudo apt install --reinstall printer-driver-hpcups printer-driver-
postscript-hp libsane-hpaio hplip-gui hplip hplip-data libhpmud0

  Please post the output of this command here.

- Remove your current print queues with the command:

  lpadmin -x QUEUE_NAME
  
  Replace QUEUE_NAME by the name of your print queue, as it is shown in the 
output of "lpstat -v"

- Unplug the printer from USB and re-plug it. Does a new print queue get
created ("lpstat -v" should show it)? Can you print using this queue?

- Could you create a driverless print queue (this queue does not use
HPLIP but common, manufacturer-independent communication protocols of
the printer)? First, run the command

  driverless

  It should show one or more printer URIs, one per line.

  Now run

  lpadmin -p PRINTER -E -v URI -m everywhere

  Replace PRINTER by a print queue name of your choice and URI by one of the 
URIs from the output
  of the "driverless" command, the one corresponding to the printer you want to 
set up.

  Can you print with this print queue?
