<p>1) Remove hplip of 14.04 (for some reason apt-get won't do that automatically)<br>
apt-get remove hplip</p>
<p>2) Add repo strings for 13.10<br>

The more I work with this the more I am inclined to think it's a USB problem. It doesn't seem to matter which USB socket I plug it into, it doesn't show up under lsusb, or lshw. I've been having flakey "permission to mount" issues with thumbdrives, too. None of these issues appear on any forum I am familiar with.<br>
<br>
More suggestions?<br>

I had the same issue with a Ubuntu box sometime ago. The problem was a<br>
broken hplip package (did you have an update done recently? ). The<br>
solution was to download the package from the HP site and install it.<br>
Others reported that rolling back to an older version would also work. I<br>
did not try that.<br>

I have three systems, one running Linux Mint 13 (32 bit), and<br>
two that are running Linux Mint 17 (32 bit). I have a<br>
USB-attached printer (HP 895Cse Desket) that these system<br>
suddenly ceased to recognize. Attempting to delete the printer<br>
definitions and re-install it doesn't work (the printer is not<br>
recognized as being attached to the system and, therefore,<br>
available).<br>
<br>
What has me confused is that my Dell Inspirion 1525 laptop,<br>
running Linux Mint 17 (64 bit) does recognize it. I can't<br>
convert my other systems to 64 bit because their hardware won't<br>
support it.<br>
<br>
What am I missing?<br>
