HP Deskjet 3050
macOS 10.15 Catalina

Hi, every time I try to print from my Mac Book 16" Pro to my HP Deskjet 3050 (USB connected), I get a "Waiting for printer to become available" message, and it just stalls there.  I've tried everything.  Uninstalling and reinstalling.  Resetting the printer.  Restarting the computer.  And lots of other things.  Nothing works.  Any help would be enormously appreciated.
