2017-09-21 16:48:10 Mark Preston description Per Device Manager: HPLIP-3.17.9 version was installed on 20-09-2017. Yesterday, Weds. 20Sept17, the HP Device Manager noticed me that there was an Update ready to install. Clicking for the install radio button produced no results. Running the update in a terminal session installed the update. After that installation, I checked the printer and scanner (not FAX) and both printer and scanner worked. This morning, Thurs. 21Sept17, neither the printer nor the scanner work.

Printer Model: HP-LJ M227fdw (or fdew, I've forgotten.) Pop-up window read: HPLIP cannot detect devices in your network. This may be due to existing firewall settings blocking the required ports like (5353/udp). When you are in a trusted network environment, you may open the ports for network services like mdns and slp in the firewall.
