HPLIP

Device Mgr v15.0 (HPLIP v3.20.9) won't delete printers

Asked by SaintDanBert

My Linux Mint 19.3 repos edition of HPLIP would not connect to my new, Officejet-9010-Pro.
I fetched and installed v3.20.9 for Mint from online. I tried to delete/remove the 9010 because its IP address changed on my LAN and I could not alter the IP without delete/remove.

Issue #1
=======
HPLIP does not delete/remove that device. In the icon view, the 9010 appears with a red-X emblem. My 8600 does too, but it is offline while we remodel the home office.

QUESTION -- Must a printer be connected and online before HPLIP can delete/remove the device?

Issue #2
=======
QUESTION -- v3.20.9 does not apprear to have an "HPLIP Toolbox" utility or a separate applet for the tray indicator.

Issue #3
=======
Even though I ask for the Tray Indicator to appear all the time, I never see it using v3.20.9 and Cinnamon v4.4.8.

Thanks in advance,

No. You can remove the printer even if it is not online.

You can see tray utility from print settings of hp-toolbox.
