Unable to setup HP Laserjet M1136 MFP in mint 19

Post by Bilol »

Dear all,
I am unable to setup my printer ( HP Laserjet M1136 MFP) in Linux Mint 19 (cinnamon, 64 bit). I have downloaded and installed hplip 3.18.7.run. The installation seems to be okay. However, during printing the printer fails to respond.
Any help will be appreciated.

could you please tell us what

Code: Select all

lpinfo -v
gives from a terminal; and what

Code: Select all

dpkg -l hplip
gives;

and if you go to your PRINTERS folder; ... how many icons are there for the 1136 please? For each, can you right-click on the icon; look in MAKE & MODEL and copy and paste what it says

(I can't find this printer listed anywhere on HP's list of supposedly supported printers: one has to get the title exactly right to score a hit ..)

It looks to be a 2016-era printer; so any hplip >= 3.16 would have been ok I think

Hi,

hplip 3.18.7 is not realy compatible with lm19 by now lm up to 18.3 is supported.
I also had installed hplip 3.18.7 but got problems with my printer hp lj pro MFP M277dw

so i removed hplip 3.18.7
installed hplip-gui from packed manager - started the gui to finish configuring the printer (in special the scan driver) an that worked for me on 4 installations

thanks for this;
the PRINTERS folder is usually in the ADMINISTRATION which you can find by starting bottom left at the MENU button; click on the MENU button; go into the grey area that appears .........

You thought you had installed 3.18.7 as the latest hplip but your system thinks you only have 3.17.10 which I assume is standard for Mint 19; and should be fine for a 2yr old printer
