The lpadmin command:

lpadmin -p m175 -v "usb://HP/LaserJet%20100%20colorMFP%20M175nw?serial=00CNC9CBV02R&" -E -m "postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-laserjet_100_color_mfp_m175-ps.ppd"
added the printer m175
for some reason the
  # lp -d m175 /etc/nsswitch.conf
  Anfrage-ID ist m175-36 (1 Datei(en))

does not print anything; nor any other application could make the printer do anything.
note:
The lpinfo -m | grep m175 gave a list of 8 ppds:
  postscript-hp:0...ps.ppd
  ...
  postscript-hp:7...ps.ppd
just took the first (0) one.

However I forgot to mention:
 Ubuntu 19.10 brings
   hplip/eoan,now 3.19.6+dfsg0-1ubuntu1
 as standard hplip. With this a working printer was installed indeed. However the scanner was missing. For this I tried to install mentioned (latest) hplip version which does not detect the printer at all. (see log file: .... "error: Unsupported model: HP_LaserJet_100_colorMFP_M175nw")

So a workaround for 3.19.6 for the missing scanner would also be fine for Ubuntu 19.10.
However a final fix for hplip-3.19.12 would be required anyway I guess.
