Installing an HP laserjet p1102w printer in Linux Mint
I have a WI-fi HP laserjet p1102w printer .
I have downloaded the HPLP driver software for Linux mint. I have updated Linux Mint (18.3). The Printer app sees the 1102w, but I can not seem to get it to connect to my computer. There are about 20 ways to connect the wireless printer. I used it IP address, its URL address, and direct connect. No print. My Windows 10 (I'm dual boot) saw it and installed it instantly. The network is operating and functional. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks; CH |
Use the 'hp-setup' utility to configure CUPS...
Code:
hp-setup |
The other thing that you should know is that this model requires proprietary firmware to be installed
https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-i...ssional_p1102w The 'hp-setup' utility should be able to take care of that for you though. |
The hp-setup didn't work. I connected using hp-setup -i, but it wouldn't let me use the wireless connection. I downloaded the HPLIP file already - it hasn't helped.
Thanks for the effort. CH |
I finally got it!
I used hp-setup -i (IP address of the printer). You then have to follow the yellow brick road on the terminal, being careful to answer correctly. Thanks for the help! CH |
Various options and examples are available via the built-in help for this utility.
Code:
hp-setup --help |
Thanks!! I now have two printers on the Linux side.

Glad to have been of guidance. :)

Me too. I am just learning Linux, but am an old (really old) Fortran IV and DOS man, so I know that switches REALLY make the difference. I guess Linux is mostly C++ which I never learned. Anyway, I'm having fun with Linux Mint, taking command line lessons, and enjoying it all.
Thanks for the input; CH |

I tried hp-setup and this is what I got. LM18.3

This all started when I tried to update HPLIP to the latest version using the instructions on the HPLIP website. I have since uninstalled HPLIP and gone back to the LM 18.3 version. Interestingly, my USB Deskjet 3070A still works. |
HP Laserjet P1102w
This is so awesome!! I used hp-setup and it worked!! after 2 days of trying. Thank you so much

OMG, the "hp-setup -i (IP address of the printer)." worked. It's a life saver.
I my HP Colorlaserjet mfp m281 could not be seen by the setup until I ran the command. |
