CUPS sees the printer just fine. And most of my browsers are OK. Libre
Office and my text editors are fine too. Just HPLIP. Not sure where to look.

IF it's new, it's likely HPLIP doen't support /that/ printer yet - give it
a while, and watch for releases, they're usually pretty good...

HPLIP has been broken by the latest major update. Whereas older versions worked fine with my AIO, a HP Officejet 4655, the latest version bluntly refuses to recognise the scanner function although the printer works fine. It is a /known/ fault as it is mentioned many times online in fora. Nobody seems able to tell me where SANE stores the uri as I can force the scanner to work with the command line but SANE refuses to retain the location.
