[SOLVED] Laser printer HPO P1005

I have accidently deleted my printer an HP P1005. Could someone give me the terminal commands to install it? This has been asked before I'm sure but I can't locate a post. I'm pretty new to Linux so need all commands. My OS is Mint 13. Thanks in advance.

Assuming you were using HPLIP driver? If you've just lost the CUPS configuration, you could use 'hp-setup' to re-install.

Code:

sudo hp-setup -i

Thanks, but I have already tried that command. Tried re-installing HP drivers but to no avail. Damn!

So, you have the HPLIP package installed? Not clear where you're at or what you've tried, (and I'm not a Mint user), but try the steps in the following guide

Thanks..I had done the HPLIP set up, repeated it, then went to HP's website and the installation went ahead seamlessly!So, all fixed! Phew!

Often the best way. Glad you've got it sorted now.
