However, hp-setup tries to automatically install the plugin.

Gentoo currently does not support the binary plugin. A list with devices requiring a binary plugin including the reasons why it is needed is available at the project's homepage. There are some devices which require a binary plugin to use all functions the device provides.

HP PRINTER UTILITY LINUX DRIVER

Use xsane and then press the preview button to ensure the scanner driver is installed and working properly.Įvery time after upgrading HPLIP it is advised to run hp-setup -r to remove all printers and configure them again as described above in the configuration section. This can be done later as well using the "HP Device Manager" or the CUPS web interface which is located at Scanner Overall, scanners should just work and will be detected with XSane, etc.Īfter completing hp-setup it should allow for printing a test page. Use this flag if hp-setup fails to find/create a valid PPD file Although this is deprecated some printers may still need it to work properly. Use statically-generated PPDs instead of Dynamic PPDs.

For instance, if the device needs the hp backend, the following must be added to the portage configuration to build it when installing media-gfx/sane-backends:Įnables scanner GUI dependencies with USE="scanner" where media-gfx/xsane is preferred over media-gfx/sane-frontendsĪdd extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). This provides a list of all supported devices including the required backend. To find out which backend is required for the device, go to the SANE project's driver search engine and search for "HEWLETT-PACKARD" as manufacturer. To be able to print on a network printer, HPLIP needs to be built with USE snmp.įor some scanner devices, the appropriate SANE backend needs to be activated.

The 1.6 series of net-print/cups has dropped slp support and one can choose to build it with USE avahi or zeroconf. To be able to set up a network printer, the 1.5 series of net-print/cups has to be built with USE avahi or slp. In case of problems disable the usb USE flag for net-print/cups and activate the kernel functionality again. This way it makes use of the dev-libs/libusb user-space tool which replaces kernel USB printer support ( CONFIG_USB_PRINTER). If hp-setup has problems, try enabling the static-ppds USE flag and rebuilding HPLIP.įor USB printers net-print/cups has to be built with the usb USE flag. Some printers may still require static PPD files. The default install enables dynamically generated PPD files at runtime. The old hpijs driver is still included when building HPLIP with the hpijs USE flag. For users who just need to print, no special privileges or group membership is required.įor printing support, it is recommended to use the new hpcups driver, which can be enabled with the hpcups USE flag. Editing the CUPS configuration files with a text editor, however, requires root privileges. See the binary plugins section for more information.Īll users who need to manage printers - whether using the web interface or hp-setup - have to be a member of the lpadmin group. Hence, it is needed if those features (like better printing quality, faster printing or scanning) are to be used.

This plugin must be installed in addition to the drivers. Some devices have features that can only be used when a binary plugin is enabled.

There may, however, be devices which work with a default CUPS install, which provides driverless printing, adequate drivers or PPD files. Using HPLIP is recommended for most HP inkjet or laserjet based printers.
