I might add that after making sure that the connector on the printer is
tight and that the USB end is connected securely, again, I ran sudo
hp-plugin -i to reinstall the HPLIP driver. This netted me this output:

Downloading firmware to device
hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1020?serial=JL1F0DC...
error: Unable to communicate with device (code=12):
hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1020?serial=JL1F0DC
error: unable to open channel
error: Unable to communicate with device (code=12):
hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1020?serial=JL1F0DC
error: unable to open channel
error: Channel write error
error: An error occured: Device I/O error

So, I have no idea what's going on at all.
