I got the printer to work. Used the fix from https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1512 But mageia control center add printer did not work, It did not find the printer on usb it used lpt1 and the hp device manager does not show the printer. I used the cups interface in Mozilla to install the printer. Hope this helps Thanks
