I have a problem with HPLIP
on Ubuntu 14.04LTS.
After upgrading to Ubutntu 14.04 LTS my HP LaserJet 1018
stopped printing (code=12).
I found several issues with printitng and HPLIP so I was able to troubleshoot this. The steps I took were :
- Reran HPdoctor
- Ran hp-check
- Un-installed and installed the latest version of HPLIP (3.14.4)
- Checked the USB connections lsusb and lsusb-v
- Re-ran hpcheck
- Removed the printer from HPLIP
- Re-ran hpcheck
- Manually configued HPLIP to the printer
hp-setup-g <xxx:yyy>
It broke again later, now HPLIP can't see the printer but lsusb
can.
Initially thought this may be due to usb given a new bus/device after being turned on and off and went to repeat the steps above at the moment still seeing an error in that the HPLIP is complaining that it cannot see the device
**error: Device not found. Please make sure your printer is properly connected and powered-on.**

Is this a Bug with HPLIP or an issue with laptop/printer?
How can I fix this or report it, if it is a bug?
