Hi,

I have just run the installer again to check and checked the instructions
Accept the defaults*, until the last screen:
Re-start or Plugin, select ignore.

Then select install method GUI, and a GUI opens.
You need a temporary connection via USB.
Then choose Wireless/802.11(3rd option down), step through the screens adding it to your WiFi network.
On the last screen, make a note  of the hp-setup & ip.address.
Disconnect the USB cable, open terminal and enter command.

Hi,

When you run the installer you need the printer to be connected with USB cable initially.
Follow instructions, and when the installers finished,
It should say:
"Now Remove the USB Cable" and then run HP-Setup ip.address in a terminal
The ip.address will be shown on the last screen.


Yes, that link is dead by the look's of things
All I can say is it worked for me and was done in a few minutes


WiFi is switched on on your printer..??

Great. Thanks for your help.  I downloaded the new install program, but i'm receiving this error message and the referenced link says "page not found":

HPLIP cannot detect printers in your network.
This may be due to existing firewall settings blocking the required ports. When you are in a trusted network environment, you may open the ports for network services like mdns and slp in the firewall. For detailed steps follow the link. http://hplipopensource.com/node/374

Linux Lite is based on Ubuntu and it's version 14.04
If you are using the HP Wizard/Installer


This is the quickest way to install

Linux Lite is not listed as an HP distro option for new printer install.  Can I click an alternative "Distro" box??
