Q1: Can I use a PPD file from another (previous) HPLIP release ?

if the answer is YES,

Q2: Where can I find a specific PPD file for my laser printer ?

Thank you in advance for hints and answers :)

    Possibly you are affected by this launchpad issue.

    The recommendation is to download the latest hplip package from the HP website

    Install the file:

    cd ~/Downloads
sh hplip-3.11.10.run
