Linux Mint Forums

I installed lmde just a few weeks ago and for the most part it has been tremendous. One puzzler though still.

I have installed hplip and hplip-gui, etc... all listed dependencies and while the package manage says it is installed, it does not show up in the menu and by entering the command in a terminal, it says command not found.

I have completely removed all hplip pkgs completely and re-installed a number of times now with the same result each time.

anyone have some suggestions?

I have searched the forum here but with little success thus far.

I use hplip also and it works good here.
When you install it you can install the printer whit cups, and there choose for hplip network printer,
After a reboot you see the icon in your systray.

yup, tried that. cups loads the printer, but no hplip to be seen.
