It’s bad for sure, but better than said resources being used to kill Ukrainians

There used (1970s maybe) to be a brand called Camp in the UK which I think was a blend of coffee and chicory as a liquid that you added hot water to. Awful stuff as I remember it. It may still be sold there for all I know.

Thanks. I have hplip installed on my Pi (version 3.21.2) and my printer is listed as being supported on the hplip support page. That page says Support Level is “Full” and Connectivity is “USB, Network”. So it seems that this should work; also the printer works fine over USB to my Windows laptops.

hplip seems to provide a number of command line commands with names like hp-probe and hp-firmware. I have not been able to get any of them to work over USB though; usually they return a message “Warning: No devices found on the ‘usb’ bus”.

Do you mean that “proprietary firmware” is needed to make the printer work with Linux?

Good work. I tried to do similarly with a HP CP1025nw (roughly 10 years old), which has become unreliable with Windows 11. But although I connected the printer to the Pi (I used a model 3B) with a USB cable, CUPS does not appear to see the “usb://…” connection string. CUPS does allow me to connect to the printer wirelessly, with a connection string that begins “dnssd://…”.

So I have it working wirelessly but I was hoping to get it using USB since I suspect that would be more reliable.

I’m wondering why your Pi allows the “usb://…” method, but mine does not.

This may be a ploy for Trump to avoid the debates, since he knows he’s likely to lose as in 2020. Biden refuses the drug test, Trump then refuses to debate…

Reading today that the indictment/summons has now been served on him.
