Hello,
My mom bought a new wireless printer, and when I tried to install it to her LMDE based laptop, it installed, but does not work.
I used this: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/in ... index.html
There was a lack of LMDE as a selection, and I could not remember how to tell what version the non -DE equivalent was or what version of Debian, so I just picked the most recent version of Linux Mint.
I get an error message after I installed the drivers and connect the printer "No printer driver for HP Officejet 6600"
I don't think I have given enough information, but I'm not sure what else to say.
Cannot install HP Officejet 6600

run hp-check to see if the correct hp software is installed.
if not it will/should tell you to run hp-check --fix (I think)
then try hp-setup -i 192.168.1.68 (with the correct ip address of your printer)

Currently it's Debian Wheezy. That's until Wheezy gets released, after that it will be Jessie because LMDE is based on the current Debian Testing.CitrusRain wrote:There was a lack of LMDE as a selection, and I could not remember how to tell what version the non -DE equivalent was or what version of Debian
That's where mistake probably is, as "the most recent version" is Ubuntu-based.CitrusRain wrote:so I just picked the most recent version of Linux Mint.
Well, I'd suggest installing hplip from the repository first (I think it should support your printer; see the minimum required version here). Unfortunately, now you'll first have to find a way to uninstall this version you've installed to avoid any conflicts.

I think I did remove it completely, and I even hit remove and install in the terminal script. But it still does not work... wirelessly.Monsta wrote: Well, I'd suggest installing hplip from the repository first (I think it should support your printer; see the minimum required version here).

I just figured out that it is working with a wired connection. Otherwise, it cannot find the printer.

If you removed it, you can now try the version from the repository and see if it works.
Re: Cannot install HP Officejet 6600
Well, I don't know how to remove it other than with the "remove and reinstall" option, and my mom doesn't seem to care anymore. She says she'll just plug it in.Monsta wrote:If you removed it, you can now try the version from the repository and see if it works.

There is apparently a problem with hplip that it can set up a wireless printer with a usb cable but doesn't work wirelessly.
I had the same problem and the solution I posted above worked for me - I got is from a gentoo forum
