unable to scan through All in one printer HP lj pro 128 mfp
Hi
I installed HP LJ Pro MFP 128 fn AIO printer on xubuntu 16.04. I am able to print but not able to scan. Getting below error.
Driver Plugin is missing. Click next continue plugin installation. but clicking next issue not resolving.
HPLIP provides a bunch of useful utilities to help with tasks like this. Open a terminal and run the following...
Code:
hp-plugin
Quote:
Most Linux distributions include HPLIP with their software, but most do not include the plug-in. Therefore, it is a safe practice to run a utility called "hp-setup", which, will install the printer into the CUPS spooler, download, and install the plug-in at the appropriate time.
To install the plug-in using the GUI you can follow these procedures:
1. Launch a command-line window and enter:
hp-setup
2. Select your connection type and click "Next".
3. Select your printer from "Selected Devices" list and click "Next".
4. Enter your root password when prompted and click "Next".
5. Use the recommended installation method and click "Next".
6. Check the box to accept with the "Driver Plug-In License Agreement" and click "Next".
7. Finish the installation of the printer as normal, however you may be prompted to re-enter your user name and password.
If you run into any additional install problems you can go to our known issues page and check for a solution.
For advanced users who wish to install HPLIP components manually, a utility exists (hp-plugin) which will download and install the plugin file, but it does not also install a printer queue like hp-setup does.
Do the following:
1. Launch a command-line window and enter:
hp-plugin
2. Follow the directions above for navigating the GUI but remember that the printer que will not be installed through this process.
*Note: you may need to run hp-plugin as root or super user depending on your distro.
