HP LaserJet 4050N

[wmeler]

I just got an old LaserJet 4050N (that works through Windows) and am attempting to get it hooked into LinuxMint.

I have installed hplips and hplips-cups, but nothing prints.
I don't know also if this will work via Wireless like I hope. If not, how am I supposed to physically connect?

.............it should work with hplip.....

........but as you say, it is getting on .............

here is a guide to setting up hp printers on ubuntu (that mint is derived from .........)

.....let us know how it goes..........

.......one quick check would be to see what shows in

system-config-printer

and if you copy and paste this into a spare browser window

http://localhost:631/admin

you can see top left buttons for .........find new printer...........manage printers.........if you have a rummage around there..............

you have initially connected the 4050 via a USB cable, have you?
