Hi T G-R,
after Your advice to check the hp-programms:
hp-align hp-info hp-scan
hp-check hp-levels hp-sendfax
hp-clean hp-linefeedcal hp-setup
hp-colorcal hp-logcapture hp-systray
hp-config_usb_printer hp-makecopies hp-testpage
hp-devicesettings hp-makeuri hp-timedate
hp-diagnose_plugin hp-pkservice hp-toolbox
hp-diagnose_queues hp-pqdiag hp-uiscan
hp-doctor hp-print hp-uninstall
hp-fab hp-printsettings hp-unload
hp-faxsetup hp-probe hp-upgrade
hp-firmware hp-query hp-wificonfig
We are a step further:
In the program menu there appeared an icon: "HP Device Manager",
but klicking on it doesn't do anything.
So at least there is an icon.
if I do a
gfp@Tuxedo ~$ hp-diagnose_plugin
it says:
Driver Plug-in Installation is required
HP Device requires proprietary plug-in which is missing. Click "next" to
continue plug-in installation
if I press next it says:
sh: line 1: python: command not found
error: Failed to install Plug-in.
Either you have chosen to skip the Plug-in installation or entered
incorrect Password.

gfp@Tuxedo ~$ sudo hp-logcapture

Done.

Even though the printer is installed and I can print,
it says again and again that there is no printer and the bus / usb is
not connected.
If somebody wants to deal with it and takes time for it,
than I appreciate this.
