MX Linux Forum

So I got it working.
I just went to https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imag ... ng/plugins
Downloeded the plugin hplip-3.21.4-plugin.run
as root # hp-setup
Choose select path to the plugin (advanced)
put the path to where I downloaded it

And it installed and is now working!

Still no luck.... But I just thought of something. my wifi/bluetooth did not work, so I installed kernel 5.18. Do you think that could have anything to do with this problem?

my bad....we need to re-enable the python script first me thinks

sudo su
/usr/bin/aa-enabled /usr/share/hplip/plugin.py
# stay as root
hp-setup -i


# /usr/bin/aa-enabled /usr/share/hplip/plugin.py
unknown option '/usr/share/hplip/plugin.py'

What is your printer model?


It is a HP LaserJet Pro MFP m225dn


I found a post here

to get around the gpg error do this.....you can not use sudo ....needs full root

sudo su
echo '162.213.33.8 pgp.mit.edu' >> /etc/hosts
hp-setup -i

should now ...

Everything seemed to go fine until:

When I try to scan something, it tells me I need the plugin. I have just been using the window that opens to try to install it, but then this last time I used the command sudo hp-plugin

HP plugin gives me this:
Checking for network connection...
Downloading plug-in from:
Downloading plug-in: [\ ] 0% error: Plugin download failed with error code = 8

error: file does not match its checksum. File may have been corrupted or altered

I think this is my problem.

Yes, it detects and finds the printer, but then gives an error when it tries to install the plugin. I think if I could just get the plugin installed it would work fine.

I have used this printer in mx linux before, but it doesn't work now. I am not sure why....

Here is the output:
scanimage -L
device `hpaio:/net/hp_laserjet_pro_mfp_m225dn?ip=192.168.0.104&queue=false' is a Hewlett-Packard hp_laserjet_pro_mfp_m225dn all-in-one

As you can see from that output, it is ...

The printer was added automatically, and I can print with it. However I have not configured the printer with a static ip address. This has always worked without issues before, so I am not sure why I am having problems now.
