-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi folks.
I have a problem with my HP envy 5030 printer not being able to print under Debian 11. It printed okay under Debian 10 and still does so with debian 10 on my laptop which I haven't upgraded yet until I get this printer issue sorted out. The 'hp-systray' gui shows the printer, but shows a small cross on the printer icon which means that its not connected. And in the 'settings' section its hows 'HPLIP-3.21.2 version was installed on 19-09-2019.' With the printer on and connected to the computer via USB, I get these error reports. - --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ~/.emacs.d/org $ hp-systray & [python3] 633617 ~/.emacs.d/org $ HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.21.2) System Tray Status Service ver. 2.0 Copyright (c) 2001-18 HP Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

According to the https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/supported_devices/index page the printer is still supported by them. So what do I need to do to allow me to print with this printer please?
