my LaserjetProMFP127fn will print wirelessly from linux mint 15, not with Mint 17.3

I have an HP laptop not running Windows and rather Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon, Linux Mint 17.3 and Ubuntu 15.4 mate, in a multiple boot configuration. With Linux mint 15 I can print correctly wirelessly with my LaserjetProMFPM127fn printer, now with the other two applications, printer driver installs through cups apparently but when I try to print I get an error? I was planning to erase Mint 15 which is an old distro with no further support I believe but I am stuck with this problem of the upgrade. Need to see if anybody can help me with this.
