I am having difficulties installing an HP MFP M130a printer in Ubuntu. I know the printer works, used it only a couple of days ago but was forced to reinstall Ubuntu so lost the driver, etc.
I have downloaded HPLIP and the printer shows as present and connected. Oddly, the list of HP drivers available (on the HP list when auto-detecting) does not include this model but instead a totally different model is "recommended" (527). I have tried that and when trying to print a test page the light on the printer blinks suggesting the printer is about to print. It doesn't and no print job is listed in the queue. When I select the highest number of similar models (128) or another close to that, install and try to print a test page, the printer light does not blink but a job is listed in the print queue as "stopped".
Chris previously helped me out with much the same problem here

But now I again get "Page not found" on his second link and, additionally, even having installed HPLIP following his first link I cannot get a driver option for my particular model - and each time I did first delete the earlier attempt(s) at installing the printer.
Any suggestions anyone ?
