A Reddit user here https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/jcx9y9/my_64_year_old_mom_upgraded_from_1804_to_2004_by/ has found the following solution:
In 20.04 hplip is broken for many HP Printers including mine. This is what I did to get it working again (basically using 20.10 hplip packages). $ sudo apt purge hplip* $ sudo apt autoremove Download following packages from https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/hplip . Now the version number might be updated a little. hplip_3.20.5+dfsg0-3build1_amd64.deb hplip-data_3.20.5+dfsg0-3build1_all.deb libhpmud0_3.20.5+dfsg0-3build1_amd64.deb libsane-hpaio_3.20.5+dfsg0-3build1_amd64.deb printer-driver-hpcups_3.20.5+dfsg0-3build1_amd64.deb python3-pexpect_4.6.0-4_all.deb python3-pil_7.2.0-1_amd64.deb python3-reportlab_3.5.47-1_all.deb python3-reportlab-accel_3.5.47-1_amd64.deb $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb Now auto install all dependencies $ sudo apt -f install So, basically, they installed hplip 3.20.5 for Ubuntu 20.10 on Ubuntu 20.04. Is there a way to move those packages to Ubuntu 20.04 repositories? -- 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
