[ale] Printer problems

[Vikram Nanda]

It is a USB printer.

It is HP officejet 4215.

To get the scanner working, thought of reinstalling the hplip package.
By mistake I removed it fully and reinstalled it.

It messed up things now- I cant find HP officejet 4200 series among the
list of printers when I try adding my printer through System Settings
--> Printers ---> Add ---> Printers

I am out of ideas now
