Hello Maxim,

I never did solve the problem, I even changed machines and a fresh installation of Guix, that too moving from linux-libre to mainstream linux kernel, but the issue persists.

I’ve tried the hp-setup to setup the printer again, nothing
changes. I’ve tried other hp scripts like hp-check, hp-doctor,
hp-diagnose_plugin etc. they don’t work either.

I've never had much luck with hplip. Can you install the PPD for your
printer [1] manually into CUPS and use it directly?

Thanks Felix, I did download this and put it as the PPD through CUPS, but nothing changes.

I remember loosing some hairs on a similar issue, and in the end the solution was
something extremely ridiculous, like making the printer 'active' in the
CUPS we admin interface.

I had never disabled it, so was quite surprised by that.

I hope you can make it work; it's quite frustrating to troubleshoot
problems like this, especially when we have real work to do :-).

Good luck.
