Installing HP Device Manager in Linux Mint 20.1

bikrgran · 10-31-2021, 12:59 PM

I've just moved, and nothing is working right. I have built-in wifi and haven't been able to connect with it. I can't get HP Device Manager back on my computer (for some reason it's reverted to something earlier). So, I need to get everything back to where it was. HP doesn't support Linux, I understand, and it was because someone recommended HP for Linux, that I bought the HP Deskjet Plus 4100. Am I stuck with hardwiring my printers? Surely not.

Thanks!

Yes, HP supports linux...

The HP device Manager program name is hp-toolbox which is not installed by default. To install run the command
sudo apt install hplip-gui

The default hplip installed version is 3.21.2 and the minimum version supported for your printer is 3.20.5
