USB printer not recognized by Opera but no problem with Firefox

Asked by John Wilson

My HP USB printer not recognized by Opera so I have to save documents as a .pdf to print them.
With Firefox I can print documents directly and the printer seems to work with all my other programs.
Any suggestions?

I suggest you post on an Opera forum too.

What is the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cachge policy opera

Thanks

Thank you for your quick response.
Here is the information you requested:

Command 'apt-cachge' not found, did you mean:

  command 'apt-cache' from deb apt

Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

john@john-H81M-S2H-GSM:~$ apt-cache policy opera

It seems I had two versions of Opera installed and when I deleted one version it all worked.
Thank you once again for all your help
