HP Deskjet 3636, conected via USB cable seemingly not detected by hplip CUPS backend.
MInt's system-config-printer does not list the printer.
http://localhost:631/admin/ "Find New Printers" does not detect the printer.
The installer specified for this printer on HP's website "hplip-3.17.9.run" gives dependency errors. So, I have performed a manual install according to these instructions intended for Mint 17, Python v2...

Several posts suggest removing Ubuntu/Mint's hplip first, so I did:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get remove --purge hplip
Code: Select all
lsmod | grep usb
Code: Select all
lpinfo -v
network beh
direct hp
network ipp
network ipps
network http
network https
network socket
network lpd
network ipp14
network smb
direct hpfax
Perhaps I have missed something really obvious? However, I have wasted several hours on this already, so i hope that someone can help.
