This is what I got when I went to the following web site. http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install_wizard/index.html
You have selected Ubuntu 16.04 using the HP Officejet Pro 8710 All-in- one Printer. Ubuntu 16.04 supplies HPLIP 3.15.2 by default, which does not support your printer. You must ensure latest HPLIP version (recommemded), or at least HPLIP 3.16.5 in order to use your printer with Ubuntu 16.04. I tried to get the latest HPLIP 3.17.... but it failed. fixing this problem is beyond my skills i.e. testing an upstearm kernal. If I could I would revert back to ubuntu 15.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1723112 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!
