[Solved] After Upgrade from Mint 20.3 to Mint 21.3 - printer not connected

Post by pantr »

My USB-connected HP Deskjet 2700 is detected and enabled after upgrade, but it refuses to connect. I tried to print a document multiple times, but it was left in the printer queue with the message "Not Connected?"
I disconnected and reconnected the printer power cable, and then one of the documents was printed, but the printer is still not connected.

First I upgraded from 20.3 to 21. Then a test print to see if driverless printing took effect. It did not. Then I reinstalled HPLIP-gui to see if that helped, but it did not.
After that I continued with upgrading from 21 to 21.3. Still no printer connection. I've been browing around to see if others have had the same problem,
but I did not succeed.
Hints are welcome!
