I have found in the past that anytime I update hp* or cups, I need to |
| 21 |
delete and set up my printer again. Sometimes it works but is flakey |
| 22 |
and sometimes it doesn't print at all. Deleting and adding again is the |
| 23 |
only fix I have found that works. |

Sort of weird how that works tho. |
