HP printer issue (DeskJet 3700) on Linux Lite (ergo Ubuntu)
Trying to use the printer (HP DeskJet Ink Advanage 3775) on my old Acer Aspire 5315 with Linux Lite 5.2 distro (ergo Ubuntu).
Printer (and included scanner also) does not work properly.
I have installed hplip-gui via terminal.
I also tried to install the latest ver. of hplip 3.21.2 via terminal downloaded from >https:/

RUNNING HPLIP LIBS COMMANDS
sudo apt-get remove libhpmud0 libsane-hpaio printer-
|/
-------
OS software (settings dialog windows) and HPLIP Status service "see" the printer, but if I try to print test page, it "says" 'printer not connected'. Scanner says similar...
Below follows 'hp-check -t' output:

This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it
under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details.
Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).
Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]
