HP-printer 08 May 2018, 12:18:15 Hi just started to use artix and gnome on xorg and its running pretty good. but cant get Hp-printer to run.scanning is perfect.Installed hplip and cups but no printer recognized. worked all time with antergos and other. what I am doing wrong ?Thanks for help. Wolf
Re: HP-printer Reply #1 – 08 May 2018, 14:41:24 In XFCE you need to go to Menu - Settings - Print settings and follow the add a printer dialogue.There might be some extra packages and procedures needed that would depend on the printer and driver used.This might provide some clues (lsusb works for a usb connected printer)sudo lsusb -vvvsudo lpinfo -v
Re: HP-printer Reply #2 – 08 May 2018, 16:01:08 I'm guessing you have the hplip-plugin installed as well?
Re: HP-printer Reply #3 – 09 May 2018, 15:27:11 Thanks for reply , yes i installed most of dependencies I found on arch and antergos forum . at the end the usb-printer shows up , but could not get the ppd to work. after this I reinstalled the hole system, but no luck. after 2 hours got it on my old imac (native installation)after reinstalled all apps and reboot ,everything was black-"nothing". Sorry ,but went back to Antergos and printer worxs.I am only an normal grandpa user , but like always the idea of freedom.Will come back later in the year , because Artix is the fastest distro on gnome i tried so far, and I can install the apps, only I want!!In general: This is the disadvantage of Linux : "The kids are not united" - to many cooking's ,but no power.Thanks for helping Wolf
