Unable to print using latest HPLIP driver

Asked by Eljar Tamm

Hello!
I´m trying to install a HP LaserJet M1132 MFP printer for a user under Ubuntu 20.04 and I´m using the latest HPLIP 3.21.10 driver available. After installing the driver, the operating system detects the printer, but when trying to print anything, even a test page from HP Device Manager, it gives an error "Unable to communicate with printer XXXX. Please check the printer and try again". It also gives the option to download an additional HP driver, but that also fails.
