Bug Description
Since updated to 20.04, I cannot print through USB (HP DeskJet 5570, but apparently according to some google research I am not the only one affected, and not only with HP).
Until yesterday the error message looked like hplip found the printer, but could not communicate to it. After reinstalling hplip und cups, now hplip cannot even find the printer (xsane the same).
Printer is usable as network printer, but that's not an acceptable solution.

Yes, similar issue.
2x fresh installs of 20.04.1.
Using a Brother MFC-J890DW, and trying to connect USB. Keep getting 'several printers' automatically created, but generally don't work, and appear not to be USB. reinstall.
Scanning is also hit and miss.
Have tried using automatically created printers, and also installing the Brother drivers. Sometimes works, (via network mostly), but after a reboot, broken again. Uninstall/
Used to 'just work'. Last OS was an older version of Mint.
