Public bug reported: This printer worked great prior to Ubuntu 18.04. Days of repeated fresh ubuntu 18.04 installs and trying stock hplip, removing and reinstalling it, removing it (all with pkg mgr), downloading and running latest HPLIP script, the printer is not seen by USB (it is on, power switch blinks, USB cable installed, tried different USB ports. PC is brand new. lsusb does not show printer. ls -l /dev/usb/lp* /dev/bus/usb/*/* says '/dev/usb/lp*': No such file or dir. sudo usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0 says can't open '/dev/usb/lp0'. hp-info -i says HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.18.6) Device Information Utility ver. 5.2 error: No device found that support this feature. I've installed HPLIP many times with ubuntu 17 and older ones with very little trouble. I tried installing HPLIP without AppArmor and with it, but didn't matter. I have the req'd repositories but NOT third part software.
