To reproduce the problem:
Connect an HP printer which needs firmware, a LaserJet 100, 1005, 1018,
1020, P1005, P1006, ...
Let all automatic setup work being done, especially accept the download
and installation of the proprietary plugin for HPLIP.
If the plugin download does not happen, run the command
sudo hp-plugin -i
in a terminal and accept the download. If it tells you that the plugin
is already installed, accept the re-install. In the end you will hear
the printer making noise. It got its firmware.
Now run
ls /etc/udev/rules.d/86-hpmud-hp_laserjet_*
in a terminal window. There should be a file corresponding to your
printer model.
Now turn off and turn on the printer again and wait until it stops
blinking and making noise. It should make noise twice. If it makes noise
only once, the firmware did not get loaded. Alternatively, you can try
to print
Run again
ls /etc/udev/rules.d/86-hpmud-hp_laserjet_*
the file corresponding to your printer, and only this file, has
disappeared.
Turn off and turn on the printer again and wait until it stops blinking
and making noise. Now it makes noise only once and you cannot print. The
firmware is not loaded.
How to test the new package:
As soon as the new package gets available, folow the instructions in the
comment announcing it.
After having installed the new package, recover the UDEV rules of HPLIP
by re-installing the plugin. Do this by running the command
sudo hp-plugin -i
in a terminal window. Accept the re-installation and the download of the
plugin. In the end yourr printer makes noise again as it receives its
firmware.
Turn off and turn on the printer again and wait until it stops blinking
and making noise. It should make noise twice. Try to print. It should
work.
Repeat the previous step several times. Your printer should always
receive its firmware and be able to print and the command
ls /etc/udev/rules.d/86-hpmud-hp_laserjet_*
should always show your printer's file.
