[xubuntu-users] problems with last 18.04

[walt]

Don:

I have had problems getting scaning (simplescan) to work in the last 
several issues of Mint.  I resolved that by installing a later version 
of hplip from:
  https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/gethplip
It was a rather long and involved installation but it worked.  I am 
using a HP printer, MFP_M277, but I think that driver is used for 
several other brands of printers.
