I have an HP Laser107a (https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-laser-100-printer-series/24494339/model/24494340) and because fails to be detected on Ubuntu 18.04 I have installed the latest hplip version from hp website.
As seen on ubuntu's manual the lsusb shows:
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1bcf:0005 Sunplus Innovation Technology Inc. Optical Mouse
Bus 001 Device 013: ID 03f0:e82a Hewlett-Packard
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 058f:6362 Alcor Micro Corp. Flash Card Reader/Writer
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
But the command hp-makeuri 03f0:e82a
fails to generate the correct url for my printer:

Using system settings I manage to add my printer:
Though I fail to print a pdf file or even a document in libreoffice showing the following error:
Also, the hp device manager fails to add my printer as well (hplip 3.19.12):
Do you have any idea why?
Also, using the propriatery driver ofered by hp still shows no light.
