Public bug reported:
I printed yesterday.
I updated Ubuntu 20.04.3 this morning.
The system now does not detect the HP LaserJet P2055dn to which it has
been connected for years.
The output of the command "apt-cache policy cups" is:
cups:
Installed: 2.3.1-9ubuntu1.1
Candidate: 2.3.1-9ubuntu1.1
Version table:
*** 2.3.1-9ubuntu1.1 500

What I expected to happen was to print a document. Then, for the system to
recognize the printer when I tried to reinstall it.
What happened instead was that printing failed. Settings > Printers >
Additional Printer Settings vomited an error message saying that the
printer may not be connected. The print job hung on "Processing" for
5-10 minutes before I terminated it. I deleted the printer on the
system and the system would / could not detect the device. No obvious
means exists to install a printer driver for a specified printer, which
is an astonishing design failure for the platform.
I have rebooted the system and the printer multiple times throughout
this process. I also attempted to update the system but no updates are
available. All the wiring and power is as before.
The system recognizes any number of other USB devices connected to it,
including scanners, etc., that are freshly powered on. Power cycling
the HP printer has no effect on lsusb output.
