I have a Ubuntu 19.10 Server installation.
I'm trying to setup some HP printers on this.
First, I installed CUPS:
I then edited /etc/cups/cupsd.confCode:sudo apt install cups
I then added my user to the lpadmin group, and also enabled remote admin access to the CUPS admin page:
I then installed the HP LJP drivers:Code:sudo usermod -aG lpadmin victorhooi sudo cupsctl --remote-admin
I then tried to add a network printer:Code:sudo apt install hplip printer-driver-hpcups
For some reason, when you select connection type "net", it just hangs for a bit, then errors out.Code:$ hp-setup -i 10.63.27.15 HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.19.6) Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 9.0 Copyright (c) 2001-18 HP Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

If I run hp-check -t, I get a whole bunch of errors, and missing items:
Also - if I go to the CUPS web admin page, I see HPLIP listed under local printers - but not networked printers?Code:victorhooi@printserver:~$ hp-check -t Saving output in log file: /home/victorhooi/hp-check.log HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.19.6) Dependency/Version Check Utility ver. 15.1 Copyright (c) 2001-18 HP Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies are installed to successfully compile HPLIP. 2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run. 3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies). Check types: a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time) c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies d.

Is there something special you need to get HP network printers working with CUPS and HPLIP?
