Printer HPLIP 5012 communication error HP Laser Jet 1018

Worth noting that garuda won’t load with printer plugged in, and upon plugging in dmesg returns:

[  130.035132] usb 1-4: new high-speed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd
[  135.547744] usb 1-4: device descriptor read/64, error -110

hmm.. over cups webinterface or plasma settings ?
Also konsole then system-config-printer

Konsole sudo dmesg
I think the issue is something about pc not discovering the printer
And quick lookup over device descriptor read/64, error -110 returns that it’s an error that can sometimes be fixed by disarming electricity in the system, which i did in the morning which made my printer work exactly once. I guess i should get a new cable?.. Because the specifics of why it happens are vague.
Here’s uncontinuous dmesg logs on what seems to be related from another successful attempt i did just now, the printer shortly disconnected though

Your BIOS is quite old. I would highly recommend to update to the latest version
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-B550-GAMING-PLUS/support#bios

Sometimes updates don’t play nice with very outdated BIOS versions. Also I’ve noticed one version you are missing out on mentions “Improved USB device compatibility” , so it might have a chance to fix some of your issues, mainly this one as it can be a BIOS related issue:

(Note: You are missing out on very important security fixes and it is very much worth updating the BIOS anyways.)

Correct.

The printer is not recognized as a USB device at hardware level. Either there is a problem with the corresponding USB port`s on the computer side or on the printer side, or the USB cable or the printer is defective.

And you should also consider this suggestion:
