This package is necessary for lot of HP printers (not only for my "multifunction"). HP provide preconfigured packages for main distros, unfortunately no for Salix (resp. Slackware). Will bee this package in near future? (Salix is really very nice, but without printing rather unusable for me.) Thanks.

Re: HPlip
We certainly have an hplip package in the repos. It is even installed in a default FULL installation, so I have no idea what you are talking about. Since you are new, I recommend reading the startup guide, linked from the main page, especially the part about package management.
Re: HPlip
I know how to setup ordinary printer in Linux (via CUPS) and I have full installation of Salix 14.1. But preinstaled HPlip and "HPlip" on HP web are two different things. Lot of newer HP printers require "plugin" (and not only "ordinary driver in CUPS") which is installable only by HP application package mentioned above. Without this type of installation printer do not work and built-in scanner is invisible. (This HP application also install support for built-in scanner in multifunction printer.)gapan wrote:We certainly have an hplip package in the repos.

In Debian Jessie everything is working without problems. But there is not preconfigured package for Slacware and installation "by hand" is very difficult for newbies (for me practically impossible).

geront,
You could always download the package you are referring to, create a slkbuild and install the package on your system.

I found this...http://hplipopensource.com/node/309 ...and printing is working. (But scanner not.)
Re: HPlip
Salix / Slackware does provide the hplip package, In fact as gapan pointed out it is included in a full installation of any of the various Salix versions.`geront wrote:HP provide preconfigured packages for main distros, unfortunately no for Salix (resp. Slackware).
The hplip package provided by Salix includes both the hp-setup and hp-plugins.

What may be of issue is that your printer model is relatively new and is not supported by the hplip version currently available in the Salix /Slackware repo. The current version in the repo is 3.10.11 and the HP site has 3.15.11.

Re: HPlip
Actually the version in our repo was 3.13.11. I just upgraded it to the latest one, which is 3.15.11. You should get it as soon as your mirror syncs.laprjns wrote:What may be of issue is that your printer model is relatively new and is not supported by the hplip version currently available in the Salix /Slackware repo.
