Quick FYI to possibly help others in the interim. Despite the above detailed issues, which I share (KDE neon 5.19 User Edition (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS), HPLIP 3.20.3), I managed to get my HP OfficeJet 6950 printing, connected via USB, by doing the following.
1. "sudo apt-get install hplip" - with all the usual dependencies (cups, etc). Note: I did not install hplip-gui (unclear if this makes a difference or not). 2. Access the cups web interface in a browser "http://localhost:631"; and go to > Administration > Add Printer. 3. Choosing the printer, I then selected - "Discovered Network Printers: HP OfficeJet 6950 (driverless) (HP OfficeJet 6950)" 4. Then set the printer Name/Description, next, next, next... and 5. Hey presto - it was printing again via USB. Don't ask me how or why, but it'll do me for now! :-) Scanning with XSane however is still not possible, and I couldn't find a workaround... so I'll hold out for the bug fix on that one. Hope that helps somebody. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1881401 Title: HPLIP, hp-doctor, hp-check should support Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with its package base To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1881401/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
