MX 19.4 HP LaserJet Pro Printer Installation

[shrinker09]

I want to install a HP LaserJet Pro MFP M28w printer/scanner. I used the MX Package Installer to install HP Printing (HPLIP and printing extras). At some point, it said driver installation failed. I pasted hp-setup into the terminal, and got this:

The computer sees the printer and acts like it's installed, but when I click "print," it says it's printing and then it says the print job is completed, but nothing actually happens. The scanner works fine and that does print.

I went to https://support.hp.com/us-en/printer-setup like the instructions that came with the printer said and downloaded the file hplip-3.22.10.run for Debian. Then I pasted

sh /home/[mypc'sname]/Downloads/hplip-3.17.10.run

It had me choose my distro (MX Linux was on the list) but it gave me this:

INSTALL MISSING REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES
-------------------------------------
note: Installation of dependencies requires an active internet connection.
warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: python-devel (Python devel - Python development files)
warning: This installer cannot install 'python-devel' for your distro/OS and/or version.
error: Installation cannot continue without this dependency. Please manually install this dependency and re-run this installer.

I don't know how to install python-devel or if that's even the best thing to do in this instance.

Here is the info for this computer.

In fact, no package (also in Debian) as python-devel , but python-dev

However:

We recommend that most users use the Automatic Installer .

Linux distributions supported by the automatic installer:

...
Debian (... 10.10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 11)
...
MX Linux (21, 21.1,21.2)

(Though it sounds weird: Why Debian 10 but not MX19 ? (And it looks like the same download page opens)


You can (if you like) try manual installation for Debian:

https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imag ... ros/debian

[shrinker09]

https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imag ... ros/debian

That has instructions for Debian 5 and 6; will it work for Debian 10?

[Huckleberry Finn]

How to will work.. just the package names may have changed (what to install). So, when I search, almost all are either already installed, or available with the same names..

But these:

• gs-esp (no such thing anymore, it's from 2008)

• libjpeg62-dev ( no such thing, just libjpeg62-turbo-dev and libjpeg62-turbo currently )

• python-imaging ( no such thing , python-imageio currently (they may not be the same things ))

and:

• libusb-1.0.0-dev (in the command to install) is currently libusb-1.0-0-dev (zero "hyphen" zero)

Nothing to lose to try ... (You can install these one by one additionally if you like, no harm.. then go on installation.. It'll tell if something's missing).

From here:

https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imag ... lugintable

That printer requires a binary plug-in in addition to the drivers in hplip in order to operate properly. In a terminal session, run "hp-setup" which will download and install the plug-in.

[Mxmann]

I spent four days trying to get my HP ENVY 7640 to work correctly from within a python3 script.
This file solved my problem, run in terminal: $ sh hplip-3.22.10.run

[jmozel]

Are you able to scan with the printer

[j2mcgreg]

@jmozel

Start a new thread if you have a problem with your scanner. Tacking on to an older thread won't get you the attention you deserve.
