18.04 has no support for my printer

[Charles Irons]

Hello Brian
I hope Friday offers you a relaxing weekend.
I ran the command from your email and the results are below.
I have used synaptic a few times over the years.
Maybe I could delete the printer and disconnect the cable, then uninstall
HPLip and re-install version 3.18.9
Then connect the printer and do HP-setup?
That might produce a matched set of software??
I suppose this long search may possibly be helpful to other users.
I value your advice as always.
**********************************
Ran the command that you required.
chas at Charles-PC:~$ sudo cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/test.ppd -m printer/foo -e
/etc/nsswitch.conf > outfile 2>log
[sudo] password for chas:
Segmentation fault

**********relevant syslog, auth.log and dkpg.log follow with a few
"highlights" that I found.
