Interestingly after an upgrade from Xenial to Bionic on a Laptop this problem did not occur. It also occurred with a clean install on another Barebones PC, but was fixed by installing package hplip. I've tried installing hplip on this PC but to no effect. PS I don't know if the problem is with CUPS or hplip or another package.
