Installing HPLIP-GUI on HPLIP 3.17.11 Linux Mint 17.3 laptop

anon298 · 02-26-2018, 09:13 AM

I installed HPLIP 3.17.11 on my Linux Mint 17.3 laptop. The only available HPLIP-GUI app in software manager is for HPLIP 3.15.2, which I installed, but it seems very quirky (doesn't recognize the printer as being online, shows communication errors with the printer, etc.).

Is there an HPLIP-GUI app for HPLIP 3.17.11? Can it be downloaded and installed apart from having to reinstall HPLIP 3.17.11?

Are HPLIP and HPLIP-GUI 2 separate installs?

Thanks, guys.

Hi:

If you have already installed HPLIP 3.17.11 you should not have to install it again to get the gui that comes with it.

AFAIK, no.

Once HPLIP is installed you should be able to run HP Device Manager.
