Hi Paul,
This was a while back. But I did have the backend cups problem, same as you.
As I recall I had to install the latest upgrade, from the Ubuntu printer
repository, of their printer codes. With me the printer just stopped working,
after my being on 16.04 for a while. The help that I received eventually solved
the problem, details of this are on the thread given with my question, which I
fear I don't recall in any detail. (I don't use bluetooth).
Hope this helps.
Richard

Title:
Stpped printer. Ubuntu 16.04 upgrade 2
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I installed an new hp 8710 office jet on 10/5/2017 and downloaded
third party hp drivers from 123.hp.com. Every thing worked just fine.
I unfortunately upgraded 16.04 to stay current and my printer quit
printing with a status of stopped - missing cups filter. I've
unplugged, rebooted, deleted printer, tried to re-download printer
drivers - nothing works. The only printer settings status is printer
is not configured.
I think this is also related to: Sorry Ubuntu 16.04 has experienced
internal errors, that keeps appearing. HP filters have been deleted
out of /usr/lib/cups.... due to an 16.04 upgrade. Now third partly
printer drivers can't be downloaded and installed. Need help!
