offlineKey MasterOpen terminal,su to root user.
hp-check -r
Go to: http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins
Download the hplip-X.X.X-plugin.run that matches your installed version of hplip from the output ofhp-check -r
Download: http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/hp_laserjet_p1005.plugin
In terminal as root user:
hp-setup
At some point you will be asked the absolute path to the plugin.run and plugin files you downloaded.
Good luck.Posted 11 years ago # -

offlineKey MasterIf your connected to the internet use the d option hp-setup will fetch and use the files in the correct order.
Otherwise with p option try with plugin followed by run if that doesn't work try run followed by plugin:
Type in keyboard:
/home/jamal/Desktop/hp_laserjet_p1005.plugin
Hit the Enter key
If it asks for the run file:
Type in keyboard:
/home/jamal/Desktop/hplip-3.12.2-plugin.run
Hit the Enter key
Good luck.Posted 11 years ago # -
