HPLIP v3.17.10 won't connect to Ojet Pro 9010 (Mint 19.3)

Hi ,

Can you please download latest hplip from the portal 3.20.9 and check once again .

The version you are using seems to be very old.

I'm using the HPLIP from the Linux Mint 19.3 repositories...
I don't know the steps to download from the HPLIP project then "replace"
what
'mint-update' 'synaptic' etc installed to my workstation.

Can you steer me to HOWTO from some source -- including a web address
for the
download file(s) you want me to try?

Thanks in advance,
~~~ 0;-Dan

I fetched the Mint 19.3 installer [*.run file].  I've attached the two
log files for your review.

During execution, the script wanted dependencies.  I installed them all
without error.

During execution I got ERRORS
One of the errors appears to be a simple command line typo.  I'll try to
find it, fix it and run things again.    (config.log extract below)

There is more but this is enough to get started.

I corrected the "-qversion" error and the installer seemed to complete
correctly.

When I ran the configurator in GUI mode, I got this:

Oops!  Yes, I did have the tray running from the Mint repository edition...
I'll reboot and see if all is well.

After installing from the download, I cannot find the HPLIP Toolbox or
HPLIP Indicator
using the Cinnamon System Menu app.

Thanks in advance,
