HP Printer issue

#1 Post by Abinash »

I'm trying to print documents through my HP LaserJet P1108 printer. The printer hardware is getting detected, but printing is not being successful. The exact Printer name is not available in the CUPS/Printer settings. I've tried the generic option and various other options provided through CUPS for HP printers, but to no avail. The HPLIP installation through terminal is also not getting successful. I'm also unable to get the PPD file from any source. Kindly guide how can I use my printer successfully.

Where are you installing HPLIP from? Download from HP or the Debian repository?

Hopefully you did

Code: Select all

# apt install hplip-gui
If not, uninstall the download package and install as above.

This printer seems to use a USB connection and isn't driverless/Airprint enabled, so you should add it using Device > Setup Device > Device Discovery > USB (See link for screenshot).

Thank you so much. "sudo apt install hplip-gui" process worked.
