Or - for the umpteenth time - install HPLIP. Use it to find the printer and install it. HPLIP takes care of the CUPS and YaST interaction - in fact, in the YaST Printer installation, there is a check-box to call HPLIP rather than leaving it to YaST. While you are there, take a look under the 5 tabs. You will see a wealth of data there about managing your driver and various printer logs, both of which AFAIK are not found in any other tool.

OK, I installed HPLIP. Ran hp-toolbox. Got all the way thru it, for a change, and it seemed to be happy. Sent a small test file from Kate to the printer. The PRINT light on the printer lit up. Then nothing. No paper feed, no print. This is where I came in. It still prints perfectly from the Mint computer.
Then, again, do look it in the logs, which they are, as always, under /var/log/cups/*
