Title:
  hp-setup problem prevents printers from working

Status in HP Linux Imaging and Printing:
  New
Status in hplip package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There is a bug in Ubuntu 14.04's hplip-3.14.3 as well as the upstream (and
  recent) 3.14.4 package.

  When I try to use hp-setup to configure my new HP LaserJet 200 Color MFP M276n
  printer, hp-setup tries to automatically find and assign the correct PPD file.
  Sadly, the inserted path is

  lsb/usr/HP/hp-laserjet_200_colormfp_m276-ps.ppd.gz

  which does not point at the real file, which is at

  /usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-laserjet_200_colormfp_m276-ps.ppd.gz

  Result: the printer appears to be offline or switched off. When I enter the
  correct path manually when using hp-setup, everything is fine. This deserves to
  be corrected, also upstream.
