I have a Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet Professional M1132 MFP, a couple of weeks ago I switched to Linux Mint, and now my printer won't work. When I plug the printer in it gets recognized and I can queue jobs just fine, it goes to rendering, but it just doesn't print, it brings up a generic error message and the job is just stuck there. I tried the troubleshooting that Linux Mint offers, and this is the result:

This is just part of it, I had to cut it because of the character limit, you can find it in full here: [https://pastebin.com/u7bK0Sab . I tried looking if my driver is updated and I found out that it should be: I ran the command
-l hplip
and this was the output
