Ubuntu 24.04.01 LTS- Add HP printer CUPS server Error

Question

I just installed Ubuntu 24.04.01 and can no longer print to my network printer. When I attempt to add a printer it is able to locate the printer. It just cannot communicate with it. I get a CUPS error when it tries to communicate with it. If I connect it to USB it works fine.

Here are printers that are found when I add a printer.

Thanks for the help. None of the above fixes it. I think #Ubuntu and #Hplip need to come up with a compatible fix. I came across this post whom is having the same issue. I ran through the steps and still have the same issue. Can print on USB just not over the network Where can i submit this issue to Ubuntu and get notified of a fix? — powerserg, Sep 22 '24 at 11:33

It turns out this is bug in the Ubuntu upgrade. Therefore I created a bug ticket

got the same issue today. issue is because package were not installed during 24.04 upgrade.

to fix : apt list | grep cups | grep residual => will give you the list

Then apt install each packet (there was 3 on my side: cups, cups-browsed and cups-core-drivers)

And this is whats installed for core drivers
