Comment 9 for bug 1627710

for anyone still running into this problem, i worked around it today by getting the latest HPLIP from https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing (i downloaded 3.17.11) and when installing it i told it to not enable PC/network fax support (it asks near the beginning of the install); also remember to let it uninstall your old version of HPLIP, and allow it to install the dependencies it wants. the setup of the printer continued fine after that, and i now have printing and scanning working properly on this HP M1212nf laser printer i'm testing on a kubuntu 16.04 LTS station. i used xsane to test the scanning capabilities. if you don't need PC/network fax capabilities, this worked for me to get the rest of it working. -- yossman.net/2018-02-18
