Hi!
I am currently trying to install an Officejet 6600 as a WLAN printer. The printer is recognised, the drivers are searched for and I can still assign a name. But when I press OK, the following message appears: /usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups is missing. I should install this file first. In fact, I could not find the file in this directory either.
However, when I try to install printer-driver-hpcups from the repository, I get the message that the latest driver is already installed.
Am I doing something wrong?
Any help appreciated.
Harry

Wow, that was a quick reply . Thanks a lot.
The file is now where it should be and after restarting the system, the WLAN printer was found and installed.
Now I just have to get the scan function to work. Here, too, I am grateful for tips, but that is another topic.
