I am unable to print on my HP Laserjet Pro MFP M28w
I have the printers package installed and have configured it.
I am attaching a few screen prints incuding showing the print queue with a Test Page print just processing and nothing else.
I deleted that and tired to print a document using Libre Office Writer and the same problem.
I can print to the this via Windows 10 running on Virtual Box on the same Zorin Core 16 with no problem.
I have been using the Windows VM to print, but I dont want to be using this all the time.
I have history with this package called HPLIP. About 2 years ago I tried to get it to work without success and it was one of the reasons I went back to Windows.
However I was willing and still am to try and get this to work at least in part. I dont have to have the scanning option working as I dont do that much and I can always use the Windows VM for that.
So I ran the HPLIP 3.22.2 package and it worked really well as it picked up Zorin 16 as the OS.
I have done a search obviously on the web and although someone else had this exact error during Feb this year 2022. The issue has not had any feedback yet on bugs on Launchpad Bug #1852169 “Error when installing.” : Bugs : HPLIP
I have asked the person did they find a solution for their problem and are awaiting feedback.
The HP documentation on their site is rudimentary as does not cover if anything goes wrong.
So I will see further what I can do and let you know. If anyone has any bright ideas I am all ears.
It is similar but very old from 2009. It also does not list how he found the old modules that needed removing. It is obviously similar but where to start looking for the modules and more importantly which ones. I can start looking for mdns_lookup but I dont know which version is the one that should be used?
This is the link to my first statement about a similiar issue ;
I didn't get any resolution, or pointers from the HPLIP developers. It seems to be caused by some packages having become obsolete, but I couldn't find them, even to compile from source, and add them.
Then Paul Hands reply:-
What's kind of frustrating is that HPLIP 3.21.10 works just fine on SuSE Tumbleweed, and that's a much more bleeding-edge distro than the KDE Neon I was using when I got those errors.
Yes I did. They have given the HP-Check to run which has been useful but I need to go through output as it produces a lot of stuff and the documentation for this routine is not good. It has multiple options to use.
I will run hplip install tomorrow. I have now installed the NET-SNMP module as suggested to solve the HP error linked to hpmudext IO-Extension REQUIRED
I get this error on the last command listed above "sudo apt install --assume-yes python3-notify"
Package python3-notify is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package 'python3-notify' has no installation candidate
