Issue with NGINX and proxy: HTTP/1.1 505 HTTP Version not supported

[Moshe Katz]

It looks like HP has decided to only support HTTP 1.0 or HTTP 1.1 on this
printer, though it is not clear which one they are using since you didn't
show the headers of your request direct to the printer.

If you do `curl -v http://192.168.1.XX` it will show you the headers, which
include the HTTP version that was used.
It will be either 1.0 or 1.1.

You can then use the `proxy_http_version` directive like this (substitute
1.1 for 1.0 if needed) to force the version used:

server {
    listen 80;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.access_log main;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.error_log debug;

    location /printer/ {
        proxy_pass http://192.168.1.XX/;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
    }
}
