Printer is recognized and drivers are automatically searched for. Printer operates BUT wheels out a blank page without printing.
Using an EPSON XP 212 printer.
Have you adopted a hp printer, before?
(Edit: I just realized that the above message may not have been directed to me. Sorry for the interjection. Leaving the below posted, in case it was directed to me.

If you meant “adopt” or “adapt”, for both scenarios, in the past, yes I have. HP is the brand which integrates most smoothly with CUPS (from my own experience with the models I worked with).
But I haven’t had HP for over 17 years now.
I currently have the Canon ImageCLASS MF3010, which does require special drivers because it is UFR II based interface which is Canon-proprietary.
Which Ubuntu release version are you using?
Has this always been a problem with this printer and your Ubuntu?
Have you tested printing from a terminal to see if it shows and warning/error messages.
Change to the directory in which a file resides, for example file.txt and just do: lp file.txt and watch the output.
