HPLIP

Post by MarkFreese »

I don't really have a question, because I know what is not working for me.
http://hplipopensource.com not working, so I cannot set up my printer.
Can someone send someone an email to get it going again?

But please note that HPLIP is installed by default on Mint. If you have a very new printer you may need to manually install a new version but otherwise you only need to sudo apt-get install hplip-gui for the tools, then setup your printer through Preferences -> HPLIP Toolbox.

Mark; would you feel able on an open forum like this to disclose which model of HP that you own? If so, we could perhaps check things out and offer some suggestions to help you

I am having the same issues with HPLIP. Unable to download drivers - my HP Officejet Pro 8600 is printing out documents at over 400%+ and I just cannot figure out what is wrong. Please help.

so Cassio;

I think your 8600 needs hplip version 3.11 ......... you don't tell us which version of Mint you are using; but if you are using 18.1, it has 3.16 so that should be installed; and available to help you; so that should be fine; you don't need a newer version;

If you start bottom-left at MENU: up to ADMINISTRATION; thence to PRINTERS; right-click on the icon there for your 8600; drag the window to the right so you can see all the writing;

Please tell us what DEVICE URI says and what the line below: MAKE & MODEL says ......................
