  • 100 x easier than on Windows. I wish the HP people stop doing things to let a simple printer installation a hard process. My printer has WiFi support, I own it for about 4 years. One time, ONE single time, I was able to print over WiFi. Is ridiculous all the procedure you have to make to configure it. Thanks for that simple installation. Although I had some error about a Qt4 GUI and DBus support, but if I got it right is for the HP-systray on desktop and I don´t mind at all about that. Again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for making a simple printer installation so simple.
  • Not the most user-friendly, but it is Linux and it does work even on my organisation's print queue despite not officially supporting Linux. Entirely grateful to the dev team that Linux is not only supported but open source too. Have had a few problems trying to install in VMs though may be queue-related, and I suspect that's unsupported anyway. Linux Mint 21.1 works great as described. Strongly recommend that you read if your Linux distro's version is supported in the release notes **before** trying to install.
  • excellent work, loved it !!!
  • Please, the HP-ink-tank-410/416 Wireless do not work with Linux Debian 11 (Bullseye). The printer is good but do not recognize the scanner. Same scanner problem with HP F4200 (Scanner always with a black page).
  • As a long time Linux user and after having run the family network windows free since year 2000, I can attest that HP developers did a great job with hplip. Simply downloading the package and running the installer does the job on Debian based OSes. The installer can detect the missing prereqs, distribution hplip SW already present (and still with UBUNTU 20.04 not up to date) and other requisites and fix them automatically. At the end of the process it can scan your devices and configure them on the spot. I used hplip quite a few time and it's got better and easier to manage. Only I step always on a problem with the retrieval of the sane scanner Plugins certificate from a mit.edu URL... skipping it and trusting the download gets you to the end of the configuration anyway. I've seen that it may get confused with Linux installed with local languages and having used it only on En_US based instances I cannot provide a fdbk on this... If and when I will test it on It_IT OS, I'll come back and provide some insights. Thanks Developers!
