Can't setup wifi printer connected to usb with hplip
I can't setup my HP smart tank 450 wifi printer connected to usb with hplip.
Earlier i was able to setup the network when USB connected but now it doesn't find any printer. I can add it as a usb printer an use it with usb and if i run setup on another OS i am able to add the wifi printer but setup wifi doesn't work from slackware64-current. https://imgur.com/a/xCz2sbG https://pastebin.com/seYHfxnh Code:

My HP network printer is an Officejet so I don't know for certain this applies but I don't bother with the USB setup connection. I just pick the "network" option, one above the one you show chosen in the screenshot, and choose "manual" and enter the information displayed on the printer's little screen. Oddly enough it doesn't actually see it until I choose the appropriate driver (in my case the OfficeJet 5740) but from then on it's golden. I even get all the utilities like "Clean Heads", "alignment", "ink levels" etc.

Maybe you can setup the network on your printer with the display, i can't do that and need to use usb to setup the network. |
Does it work for anyone else?
Am i the only one that setup HP wifi printers from Slackware? |
Nille
IF you press the buttons for wireless and information at the same time, is it printing the (network)configuration page for the printer? If that works, and of course, if the printer gets an IP address, use that to configure it during installation. Optionally, use the WPS function, that configuration page should include the WPS key needed |
I don't use WPS but i can set it up using a computer with another os.
The thing is that i used to be able to set it up with Slackware but it's not possible anymore so there i an regression since i did it last time. Since Slackware current doesn't use the latest hplip releases i don't think i can report it as an upstream bug but i do think the functionality should be there. |

The problem is setting up the network when connecting the printer with USB so the printer can connect to the WiFi router. I can setup the network on another computer and then add the printer and it works but the thing is that i have setup the network on slackware before but it doesn't work anymore. I did add this printer with slackware to the wifi network and since i needed to change router i wasn't able to add it to my new router with slackware current. |
You are right. Initially I had mt Printer connected through ethernet to my router (from a 14.2 Install) when I added it via WiFi to Current. So it was already recognized at router level even if on another protocol.
