As per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage#Printing I'm moving
this to the cups package.
** Package changed: ubiquity (Ubuntu) => cups (Ubuntu)

Title:
Can no longer print to network printer
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I believe that a recent update has broken the ability of this laptop to print to a network printer. HPLIP reports that it is unable to communicate with the printer although the machine to which the printer is directly connected (via USB cable) has normal print function. The command
hp-check -i
gives the following output
don at Homebrew ~ $ hp-check -i
Saving output in log file: /home/don/hp-check.log

This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it
under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details.
Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).
Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]
