Hello Karl-Philipp, Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with hplip and unreachable network message. You made this bug report some time ago and Ubuntu and hplip have been updated since then.
Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket? If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug? If you are, could you let us know and, in the current version, could you run the following (only once): apport-collect 1647103 and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and hplip better.
