[Bug 1608161] Re: printing not working after upgrade to 16.04

I also upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04, and my HP Laserjet Pro P1102 (the same model as the HP P1102w, but without wireless connection) stopped working.
The print "Status" changes from "Processing" to "Stopped" after almost exactly 20 seconds (also when printing 1 line from gedit).
Very frustrating.

Output of dmesg:

The last "usblp0: removed" is logged when the status is "Processing".
Nothing is logged when the status changes to "Stopped".

Title:
  printing not working after upgrade to 16.04

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Yesterday I completed distribution upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04. While
  it was a lengthy process everything seemed ok (even though I lost my
  background picture on desktop but later was able to restore it to what
  it was before upgrade).

  However, today I tried to print something and it fails. I have an HP
  P1102w, and it worked perfectly before. I did all recommendations
  according to your wiki (network is OK, cups is seeing the printer,
  etc. etc.). I even deleted and reinstalled the printer, but when
  trying to print test page after installation an error shows
  up"hplip.plugin". I also reinstalled the hplip package but no help.

  Does this have something to do with HP proprietary software and
  agreeing to some license blah-blah? I remember originally when I
  installed the printer in 14.04 there was something like that. Now
  everything is hidden behind the fancy gui stuff and I'm stuck with no
  printing.

  I have another wireless printer, a Lexmark that I previously used as a
  shared printer from another linux box (where I was able to jury-rig
  the linux driver), and it worked well. Now I cannot use it, because
  there is a cups error: There was an error during the CUPS operation:
  'Transport endpoint is not connected'. Again, now I have no printer at
  all.

  My network is working well, I can see the other linux box or files on
  it, but cannot use the shared Lexmark color printer. I remember,
  during the upgrade there were some terminal messages that could not
  delete some cups orr ppd related directories, because they were not
  empty (apparently the script did not use the -rf option for rm). Could
  this have anything to do with my complete shut out of printing
  capability? Needless to say, I can print to  both HP P1102w or Lexmark
  printers from the other linux box (an old Fedora-3 distro).
