-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If you install hplip then this is the hp printing system, it a gui tool to look at printer status, ink levels etc
I have a wireless HP envy, to set that up i type something like hp-setup 192.168.0.x (ip of printer) and it runs a wizard to help you set it up for that client. I think generally the printer should get a static IP address so it is on the same part of the network if it helps I have mint 17.3 but the above worked on xubuntu fine. a list of hp related packages are below (sorry for the long list here) hplip-data - HP Linux Printing and Imaging - data files hplip-dbg - HP Linux Printing and Imaging - debugging information hplip-doc - HP Linux Printing and Imaging - documentation libsane-hpaio - HP SANE backend for multi-function peripherals printer-driver-hpcups - HP Linux Printing and Imaging - CUPS Raster driver (hpcups) printer-driver-pxljr - printer driver for HP Color LaserJet 35xx/36xx hplip - HP Linux Printing and Imaging System (HPLIP) libhpmud-dev - HP Multi-Point Transport Driver (hpmud) development libraries libhpmud0 - HP Multi-Point Transport Driver (hpmud) run-time libraries openprinting-ppds - OpenPrinting printer support - PostScript PPD files printer-driver-hpijs - HP Linux Printing and Imaging - printer driver (hpijs) hpijs-ppds - HP Linux Printing and Imaging - HPIJS PPD files hplip-gui - HP Linux Printing and Imaging - GUI utilities (Qt-based) It is a good idea to install the GUI package maybe an idea to also do a google search for hplip and <printer model> and Lubuntu or a combination to see if there is any specific notes out there.
