Bah! I can't print, or get started with cups in December's current.
I had
this before and solved it this way
Code:
The solution finally proved to be
0. Remove Guest Access on my modem.
1. Do a master reset (Hold down both buttons, WiFi & 'X', power up and hold while noisy).
2. Boot M$ Vista and purge it of all instances & copies of the printer (which means cancelling all jobs on each.
3. Insert the driver cd, and run uninstall.exe (Absolute Last Resort).
4. Set up from scratch with HpSetup.exe (I was desperate). The windows cd sets up wifi over usb, and then prints a test page over wifi.
5. Examine the Modem, and see what IP the printer had
6. Back in linux, run 'sudo hp-setup <printer_ip>
7. Print a test page in linux, and a page of text to be sure.
This time,
http://localhost:631 doesn't return a print server at all. My printer had the IP, so I started with (6) but got this error

Running it as a luser, I get
Code:
warning: value_int() Failed to convert data[1467624795.36392]:invalid literal for int() with base 10: '1467624795.36392'
It then bellyaches about not being able to get pgp keys and do I want to install it anyway? I give it the nod, give it root's password when asked, and I'm back to this

AFAIK, the thing needs a ppd. Personally, I think HPLIP has lost the plot with python3. I have printable stuff backed up. Should I downgrade? If so, what?
