Ubuntu 16.04 does not find any printer

  • 772

Before switching from Ubuntu 15.10 to Ubuntu 16.04 all three connected printers were working. They still work with the parallel installed Mint 17.

Is there a way to get them work again under Ubuntu 16.04? Which additional information do I have to post?

  1. I followed @emk2203 suggestion and it worked.

    Fresh start

    Purge

    sudo apt purge cups cups-client cups-bsd
sudo apt purge hplip hpijs printer-driver-gutenprint

    Install

    sudo apt install cups cups-client cups-bsd
sudo apt install hplip hpijs printer-driver-gutenprint

    Then my printer could be found with nmap.
