Thank you.
I had not noticed the scanner not working, I do use it, but not so often.
It would be a nice touch if cups automagically offered the option to
install hplip when it was searching for drivers.
I used the cups web page (http://localhost:631/printers/) to configure
the printer and it gave m
Andrew, the re-installation of your print queue with the "hp" backend
absent has simply selected a generic backend from the CUPS package
("socket").This is no problem if you access your printer only for
printing and not for scanning (if it is a multi-function device), ink
level check, or head clean

Sequence of events;
Printer was working.
Installed update.
Printer not longer worked.
hplip-cups was not installed, installed it. Might be red herring.
Printer still did not work.
Installed the printer again and it now works OK.
Please note that this is not a USB printer, it is a network printer.
Colin, CUPS does not require HPLIP to work. If hplip is installed, new
print queues are even automatically created with the "usb" backend of
CUPS. The problem here is that the user created a print queue to which
the HPLIP backend got assigned. Then he did an update and this
uninstalled hplip, leavi
Hi people.

Incidentally, if cups requires hplip to work properly, why doesn't it
depend on it? Or is it more complicated than that?
(The subtext here is that packages should manage their own dependencies,
rather than relying on ubuntu-desktop to do it for them.)

It's usually wrong to add packages to ubuntu-desktop just to work around
this kind of thing; that would make printing support mandatory for
everyone, which isn't accurate. We'd need to see upgrade logs to
determine scientifically what went on, rather than speculating. There

Perhaps hplip (/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp is in the hplip package) got
uninstalled during the update. Added an ubuntu-meta task, as in ubuntu-
desktop hplip is only recommended. Perhaps it should be promoted to
