[15:30] <theos> hi
[15:31] <theos> i need some help with my hp printer
[15:32] <theos> hplip drivers installed very well on 18.04 but not at all on a fresh install of 20.04
[15:33] <theos> for some reason, hp-setup cant detect the usb printer. lsusb and lpstat show it
[15:33] <diogenes_> theos, re-install hplip?
[15:33] <theos> diogenes_ i did many times. even tried it on a live usb. but it still cant detect the printer
[15:34] <theos> lubuntu detects it and adds it in the printers app but it needs hplip-plugin to work
[15:35] <theos> i tried many versions from the hp website but none can detect it on 20.04
[15:35] <diogenes_> theos, maybe you need hplip version from 18.04, compare the versions.
[15:36] <theos> i had 18.04 before this and it was no problem to install this printer. even on 16.04
[15:36] <theos> hplip from 18.04 uses old apps like qt4. they have been upgraded on 20.04
[15:37] <diogenes_> also check for the driver on printer's website.
[15:37] <theos> i tried that too
[15:37] <theos> probably the new driver doesnt support my printer but it should detect it
[15:38] <theos> the hp website lists my printer model as supported
[15:39] <theos> there are files in the installer for this model though. so it should be supported
[15:40] <diogenes_> no .deb available?
[15:40] <theos> dont mind my talkativeness. i have been frying my brain on this for many hours now. thinking of going back to 18.04 or switching to debian.
[15:41] <theos> there are rpm and tar. tried both.
[15:42] <diogenes_> pity.
[16:00] <theos> hmm
[16:01] <theos> thanks for helping
[16:01] <theos> one more thing
[16:02] <theos> why is the sound levels higher on live usb as compared to installed system?
[16:02] <theos> same settings in alsamixer
