drama I don't know what to do. I'm trying to install a printer, then installed the HP drivers and opened the HP Device Manager, yet it doesn't recognize the printer. I'm using the Plasma edition, I also don't know how I should add a printer. It's connected via USB.
elfprince drama Have you tried searching through the forum's history via the handy search box? I remember an HP printer issues being addressed in the past.
ximbietc drama Were you successful? Perhaps the USB cable is faulty? I use plasma and I print fine with that same model printer. I have hplip and hplip-drivers installed and the printer shows up in Plasma's settings.
drama elfprince, yeah, I did. It seems the search here searchs for any of the words (if I search "X Y Z", it shows any results that includes any of those separately, like only results with "X"), so I never find what I want
riffer If not installed install the following from the software center: HPLIP HPLIP-DRIVERS Python-distro reboot In the terminal type: hp-setup It should popup a screen to install the printer. All this assumes that HP has linux drivers for your printer. Note: You may have to go back and uninstall any stuff you have installed already, but it is worth trying this first. Note 2: This will also install fax and scanner drivers.
drama riffer, I already have those installed, I did all that before posting (that's how I got the HP Device Manager said in the post.) Yeah, it has linux drivers for it. Nope, it didn't recognize. I did lsusb and it also didn't recognize the printer.
riffer drama Did you go back and try advanced options? There is something about usb there. I use a network printer so I can enter my 192.bla bla bla number there and it finds it. No clue how to do USB.
Axios I would go into hplip graphical and see if it shows printer if it doesnt try installing from hplip graphical there it should show printer and let you adjust settings if thats ok make sure solus sees it. I remb doing that stuff on my old hp laser but its the one thing that never gives me any trouble so kinda forgotten about how I set it up) Oh side note not 100% sure because am remodeling that computer is put up but I think if I remb right hplip has to be running for printer to work not sure
