Install HP Deskjet F4000 Series

Postby borntonag on Tue Feb 28, 2012 6:34 pm

Hi everybody,
I'm having some troubles installing my printer either by wireless or usb cable.
I followed the steps from http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html and on Step 10, either I select i=ignore/continue or p=re.plug in it get's me an error of 300 seconds without blabla.
I didn't tried restar and run hp-setup, but I'm pretty sure it won't work either.

Do you have any ideas that could help?
Regards :wink:

First of all, updating your HP:LIP driver is the smartest thing to do!
Make sure you choose for custom installation so you have full control over the installation procedure.

Then at the end, always choose restart! Plugin won't work in most cases and with restart there's more chance that Mint will find your device and configures it correctly. After rebooting/restarting your system and logged into Mint, then switch on your printer.
