- 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"
-> done
- 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?
It did not, it looks like app armor issues in the dmesg log:

I do not remember seeing this as an issue before. I will need to find time to
look into this.
Attempting to relax app armor did change the logs to allow (sudo aa-complain
ippusbxd) but did not generate a printer queue when removed and re-added. I
have returned to deny (sudo aa-enforce ippusbxd)
---------
:~$ lpstat -v

- 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
-> worth a shot, I think when I first installed the printer I was able
too, as it replaced an old Cannon and began functioning as a basic
printer but with a poor queue name. After trying to work with the hplip
configuratoin I was no longer able to add it as a driverless printer.
Right now not seeing any queue auto generated. When I run driverless I
get no output currently.
-------
:~$ lpstat -v
lpstat: No destinations added.
:~$ driverless
:~$
------
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?
-> cannot currently add a driverles printer queue
