Still not Printing, but can SCAN

Post by Moreach »

OK, I got nowhere before, prob because I was in the wrong place.
Here's the deal: My old reliable HP 5300 printer gave a hiccup in mid print and quit. Originally I thought I had disconnected it and was sent some commands to see if the PC still "saw" it. It does. The printer still makes copies and now I know it still scans and saves to file. Phew!

It still doesn't print, though. I think I may have messed up the driver when using Bleachbit, which I ran (for the 1st time as Root). Part of the trouble is that I am running the Very Old Mint (Betsy, v.2) and don't know how to upgrade! My "guru" is now no longer able to drive and is no help
Desk is Cinnamon.

Please help an old lady who once was am early adopter...

Not an option for you to upgrade to something more current?
