Public bug reported: HP2540 All In One printer printed under Ubuntu 14.04. But does not print under Ubuntu 16.04. Have tried removing and installing printer without success. Tried installing hplip 3.16.3 package. Printer found Ok but did nothing when I tried to print test page. Printer Properties says that Printer State is "Processing - Processing page 1" but Document Print Status is "Processing - Not connected?". After a time, a window pops up from hplip saying that device is busy. lsusb shows "Bus 002 Device 010: ID 03f0:c211 Hewlett-Packard". Same problem with installing hplip 3.13.4 (and 3.17.9 from HP's web site) using instructions at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/files/hplip/3.17.4/hplip-3.17.4.run/download?use_mirror=ufpr
I've run "sudo hp-check": it gave error & warning about missing python3-dev & python3-notify2. So I installed them using Synaptic (it also brought in some other dependent packages). However, it gave "warning: Printer is not HPLIP installed. Printers must use the hp: or hpfax: CUPS backend for HP-Devices".
