use synaptic package manager or
I just put two as an example, you can list as many as needed like that. purge removes the package and it's configuration files. the synaptic equivalent is right click and choose complete removal.
apt purge packagename1 packagename2

I’ll tell you a DNS joke but be advised, it could take up to 24 hours for everyone to get it.
Re: HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw Won't Print After Mint OS Reinstall
Am I correct in assuming that: 1) Synaptic Package Remover will display the previously installed package names, and 2) Apt Purge requires that I know the package names?

Thanks, antikythera.

synaptic isn't a package remover, it is a full package manager with a graphical interface which makes it a bit easier to work with. basically a front end for apt.
you still need to know the package names but they are in this thread if you need to look the names up.

How are you going on with HPLIP and hp-setup, FenderGuy? Success with scanning, we imagine.

Where is this known from? Not in this forum or elsewhere. Please give an example from a Mint user.antikythera wrote: ⤴Thu Jun 30, 2022 8:12 pm I am not wildy off the mark. I happen to know ipp-usb and avahi-daemon are a pain in the backside where hp laserjet mfps are concerned
That's because it has not been tested and recorded. Rather a simple explanation when given some thought.antikythera wrote: (his MFP is not even listed on the airscan git as supported),
Really? Evidence?antikythera wrote: it may work once or twice if you manage to get a scan using ipp-usb but not permanently.
Being accused of deliberate deception when helping a use is not something I've encounter before. I've had to go and have a lie down for a few days to recover from the shock. Overall, you are talking through your fundament.antikythera wrote: but I will let you keep leading fenderguy up the garden path.

[SOLVED] HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw Won't Print After Mint OS Reinstall
Okay, guys, I finally resolved the scanning issues on my HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw printer/scanner.
For full functionality, Linux Mint 20.3 requires HPLIP 3.22.6 or higher to be installed.
I copied the hplip-3.22.6 .run and .asc files to my laptop's Desktop, then ran the program in graphics mode.
It worked like charm - and I can now print AND scan with my HP Laserject Pro MFP M127fw!
Thanks for the assist, guys.

Yes, finally. I discovered that Mint 20.3 (Cinnamon) requires HPLIP 3.22.6 or later for full printing/scanning functionality. I installed HPLIP in GUI mode and now have full functionality of my printer,/scanner.
