I recently installed fedora 22 and am unable to configure my networked printer, an hp p1606dn. When I run the command:

hp-setup -i

choose net, then give the root password to install the plugin and choose d to download the plugin, I get the error message:

error: /root/.hplip/hplip-3.15.2-plugin.run file does not match its checksum. File may have been corrupted or altered
error: Failed to install Plugin.

How can I get around this error and install the printer? The printer was working under Fedora 20.

i would start with the web interface
http://localhost:631/
and set up the printer there

and how did you install hplip


??
is this a inplace upgrade from 20 to 22 ?

if so i would expect about 1/2 of everything not to work well

you really need a clean new install

This was a clean new install, not an upgrade.

The web interface
http://localhost:631/
shows two drivers,

HP LaserJet Professional p1606dn hpijs, 3.15.2, requires proprietary plugin
HP LaserJet Professional p1606dn hpcups, 3.15.2, requires proprietary plugin

In the past, I have used hp-setup, which calls hp-plugin, to set the printer up, or just hp-plugin to get the proprietary plugin.

I used

sudo dnf install hplip

to install hplip. The result of

sudo dnf search hp*

is:

hpijs.x86_64 : HP Printer Drivers
hpl-doc.noarch : HPL documentation
hplip-libs.x86_64 : HPLIP libraries
hplip-libs.i686 : HPLIP libraries

hplip-gui.x86_64 : HPLIP graphical tools

hplip-common.x86_64 : Files needed by the HPLIP printer and scanner drivers
hplip-common.i686 : Files needed by the HPLIP printer and scanner drivers
hppc-javadoc.noarch : Javadoc for HPPC

hpijs is installed when hplip is. The x86_64 versions of hplip* are all installed. The other things listed don't seem to be related to hp printers.

In the past, I have used hp-setup, which calls hp-plugin, to set the printer up, or just hp-plugin to get the proprietary plugin.

A quick search on the error message found several hits - some even for Fedora.
Check out this bugzilla entry.

Thank you. I can't install that at the moment because there's a problem with the updates-testing repo - I get the error message:

Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates-testing' from 'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-testing-f22&arch=x86_64': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried

I found out there's an opensource foo2zjs driver. In case someone else needs to know how to do this, here's what I did. I installed the package with the command:

sudo dnf install foo2zjs

The package included several drivers for older printers which can be used but don't support duplex. I then downloaded and unpacked the latest version, found the driver and copied it to the directory where foo2zjs puts drivers:

wget -O foo2zjs.tar.gz http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz
tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz
sudo cp foo2zjs/PPD/HP-LaserJet_Pro_P1606dn.ppd /usr/share/cups/model

I then used cups (localhost:631) to install the printer with that driver.

i take it you DO NOT !!! know that that is for TESTING new and VERY UNSTABLE updates
updates that ARE NOT READY FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC and NEED!!!!! testing

so you WILL!!!! have "problems"

unless you MUST!!!! use a rpm from there to fix a mission CRITICAL bug

DO NOT USE!!!!

the repos you normally DO NOT!!!! use
-testing and "rawhide"
these you just do not use


what others are turned on

can you please post the output of this
( dnf should be the same as yum )
yup

The problem with updates-testing repo has been fixed. The command in the last comment (comment 24) of the bugzilla entry (Bug 1196237) mentioned in the reply from syq00 does not work because the version of hplip mentioned there but a newer one is, so I successfully gave the command:

# su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing hplip-3.15.6-1.fc22'

and then was able to use hp-setup to install the printer with the hp plugin.

The output of

su -
dnf repolist all

lists all the repos, showing the testing and rawhide repos disabled. The command for installing hplip enabled the testing repo only for installing that package.

I thank all of you for your help.
