Closed issue by ErinVoid on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/6587

Description:
### System

* xuname:  
  *Void 4.19.13_1 x86_64-musl AuthenticAMD uptodate rF*
  *HP Officejet Pro 8620, hpcups 3.18.12 on wired network*

* package:  
  *hplip-3.18.12_1     HP Linux Imaging and Printing*

### Expected behavior
Find networked HP printers.  However, uninstalling and installing `hplip-gui-3.18.12_1`, going into the advanced options and specifying the IP address does work. Then the -gui version can be uninstalled and the non-gui version reinstalled.

### Actual behavior
Fails to find a printer, even if URI is specified.

### Steps to reproduce the behavior
Install hplip, run `sudo hp-setup -i `with / without an IP address or URI.

### Notes
It may be an HP software issue and not Void at all.  Installing the gui version permits a workaround. The uninstalling the gui version and installing the non-gui version means there is a working printer.
