Request MX-23: latest HPLIP 3.24.4 [Solved]

Also, have you tried the version mentioned in post #2?

[sps7]

Yes it does. Again in konsole, I see this line with others too:

Code: Select all

Bus 003 Device 004: ID 03f0:1017 HP, Inc LaserJet 1300

No, I didn't do the installation due to timkb4cq's comment in post #2. Also, since the printer shows up in HP Toolbox and in lsusb, is it necessary to do that installation?

I only have Synaptic not that other package installer mentioned. I'd have to make a switch in Synaptic to install that test hplip package. Correct? [Again, I only have the lastest, standard hplip package installed from Synaptic. It's hplip 3.22.10+dfsg0-2 ]

The printer's now working. When I got this printer, I first turned to the HP user's manual for this model. I found the manual rather poorly prepared and didn't understand various, basic things and arrangements. But all's well now that I tried something after getting some help elsewhere. [I never did install the test hplip package so the current standard one found in Synpatic's swell for me and I figure every one too.] [This HP Laserjet 1300 seems to be found ~ 2011 or so.]

I'm sorry I caused you to ponder this problem even though I know you fellow MX users are always tip-top as helpers. [I've never become any kind of expert-- I just love and use MX Linux and it simply works for me all the time. As an older guy, I get into trouble once in a while. ]

Open your menu and go to MX Tools. Select MX Package Installer. Go to the MX Test Repo tab and search for hplip.

Yes, I see it there but why should I install that test package when the printer's now working with the installed standard hplip package found in Synaptic?

Seems your post went up before I could get mine posted. Glad it's sorted.
