sure does, and i see HP_DeskJet_2700_series_0A85DE

printing options looks pretty normal, but printing details
shows: Address (null)

i did a search for drivers and got "No suitable driver found".

then went to select printer driver and found:

  HP_DeskJet_2700 Series hpijs, 3.22.10
  HP_DeskJet_2700 series, driverless, cups-filters 1.28.16
  HP_DeskJet_2700 Series, hpcups, 3.22.10
  HP_DeskJet_2700 Series, hpcups, 3.22.10

selected the hpcups driver, but then what do i do?

moylan 2023[1304] lpc status
HP_DeskJet_2700_series_0A85DE:
   printer is on device '///dev/null' speed -1
   queuing is disabled
   printing is disabled
   no entries
   daemon present

what enables queuing and printing?  i looked at man lpadmin
but saw nothing relevant.
