HP 1102w printing problem on bionic/kubuntu

Hi Pioterus,
Please share the log files for your system.
Follow the steps to generate log files.
sudo cp /dev/null /var/log/syslog
sudo cp /dev/null /var/log/cups/error_log

Then do a print job from application or toolbox and collect the log files from /var/log/<log_files>

Thanks,
Badal kumar

cups/error_log:

E [28/Aug/2018:22:22:24 +0200] HP_LaserJet_Professional_P1102w: File \"/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp\" not available: No such file or directory
E [28/Aug/2018:22:22:24 +0200] [Job 52] Stopping job because the sheduler could not execute the backend.

Now I can see the problem, but wonder what is backend? Something wrong with the hplip installation?

What else can I do?

P.

I'v just tried hplip (packaged) on the manjaro/xfce edition, and after some struggling (not much) I was able to print to my printer. The packaged version is 3.18.6. What I had to do extra was adding the plugin (hp-plugin), after this the printer started to print. So I'v tried to do this on my kubuntu and to my surprise here is no hp-plugin command. Actually there is much less hp-* commands.

On manjaro:
[@manjaro ~]$ hp-
hp-align hp-diagnose_plugin hp-info hp-pkservice hp-query hp-timedate
hp-check hp-diagnose_queues hp-levels hp-plugin hp-scan hp-toolbox
hp-clean hp-doctor hp-linefeedcal hp-pqdiag hp-sendfax hp-uninstall
hp-colorcal hp-fab hp-logcapture hp-print hp-setup hp-unload
hp-config_usb_printer hp-faxsetup hp-makecopies hp-printsettings hp-systray hp-upgrade
hp-devicesettings hp-firmware hp-makeuri hp-probe hp-testpage hp-wificonfig

On kubuntu
@kubuntu:~$ hp-
hp-devicesettings hp-faxsetup hp-print hp-toolbox hp-wificonfig
hp-diagnose_plugin hp-linefeedcal hp-printsettings hp-uninstall
hp-diagnose_queues hp-makecopies hp-sendfax hp-unload
hp-fab hp-pqdiag hp-systray hp-upgrade

I have hplip 3.18.7 not packaged version on my kubuntu.

Is this difference normal?
