Windows Drivers For PSC Machines In Linux.
 
Hi I am looking for a way to run an HP driver for a PSC all-in one in Ubuntu, is there a way?

I found something called DriverLoader,

Uhhh...

You mean you want to be able to use your HP PSC with Linux? That's almost trivially easy. Ubuntu should detect it and download/install the approprate drivers automatically.

You're gonna wanna tell us which model you have.
Pulling up a few at random showed all but one listing Linux support.
Newer printers may require installing the latest driver. It is easy to do in Ubuntu.

Yes I looked for the HP PSC 1402 Driver, and there is one, but it is very basic and not so powerful, which I have used for a print out. But there is no scanner... unless you know of software I don't. I looked up HP in add/remove software. And went to the HP website, and followed a link out of the site and downloaded a program.

Your all in one is listed as supported for printing and scanning.

You want to download the HPLIP driver and follow the instructions to install it.
Quote:
To use the Automatic Installer, follow these steps:
1. Download the file to a convenient location (e.g., home directory or desktop, etc).
2. Open a console/terminal and cd to the location where the installer was downloaded. (e.g., cd ~/Desktop)
3. Type in and run this command: 'sh hplip-2.8.7.run'
or check out the installer walkthrough.
