Have you installed HP Printing in the MXPI? Under popular apps.

Always install stuff using MXPI first, when that doesn't work out you can look at other sources.

That is hplip
already installed

[Eadwine Rose]

Nope. That is NOT just hplip.

It may need a plug in post install in order to work properly. Open a terminal and enter:

Code: Select all

hp-setup

which will download and install the plug in for you.

Note:
If this is the 2008 version of the Hp LaserJet 107a, it may not work despite your best efforts. hplip is written in python and when python was upgraded last year a lot of the older HP drivers were not upgraded to the new standard.

Terminal output

and the driver from HP "uld" does not install

[j2mcgreg]

I just did a search for both the HP LaserJet 107a and the HP Laser 107a on the HP Developers Portal database of printers that are supported by hplip and I got a 'no results found' for both of them. This means that your printer is Windows only. See here:
https://developers.hp.com/group/2382/se ... ned=Search

[gimcrack]

Found the solution. Someone got it working using Ubuntu. Circles but got it going, the main problem was with ippusbxd and the are using the HP Laser 10x series drivers. Here is the link for the fix.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1279136 ... untu-20-04

Here are the instructions



Here's how I got my HP Laser 107a to work on my freshly installed Ubuntu 20.04.

Step 1: Remove ippusbxd as mentioned in the previous answer.

sudo apt purge ippusbxd

Step 2: Download and install the HP Laser 10x series drivers.

wget https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software ... .15.tar.gz
tar -xvf uld-hp_V1.00.39.12_00.15.tar.gz
cd uld/
sudo ./install.sh

Step 3: Open Settings and remove any existing instance if exists. Select Additional Printer Settings and click Add on the next screen.

Step 4: Select the HP Laser 103 107 108 option and click Forward. This will start searching for drivers. Wait for that to finish.

Step 5: On the next screen with Select printer from database checked select HP from the list and click Forward.

Step 6: Select the Laser 10x option and click Forward. On the next screen click Apply and it is done! You can print a test page from the next screen to verify the setup.
