HP LaserJet Professional P1102w
by dwhb from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5CZ95)
Printer on Mint 19.3 failed to work suddenly yesterday, without warning. I have installed latest hplip 3.20.11. Device setup cannot discover printer ("No installed HP devices found")
I cannot understand why it said the printer is not HPLIP installed either. It was downloaded from HP and installed accrding to its instructions for automatic installation. The printer was added in CUPS and showing up in the HP Device Manager.
The following was exracted from hp-check:
Code:Printer
