On the right, you can trigger various actions and initiate status queries in five tabs. The configured new arrival then appears in a narrow vertical column on the application window's left side.
HPLIP identifies the connected device, and you can set it up in a few steps.
To do this, start the configuration routine in the graphical user interface via the Device | Setup Device. Since many HP printers and multifunction devices now have multiple connection options, you can set up devices that talk to the host computer via the USB port, an Ethernet port, a parallel port, or WLAN. If this is not the case, a window pops up to support manual configuration. Once the driver is installed, HPLIP usually automatically finds a connected and supported device at startup. Especially with older Linux derivatives used primarily as server operating systems, such as Debian 8 or Centos 6, it makes sense to install the offered updates, since the repositories still contain older versions of HPLIP. Only this version has the required SANE back end modules. In order to use the device (which has only been available for a few months) with HPLIP, you need software version 3.15.11 or newer. As is usual with HP, the system requirements list compatibility with countless Linux distributions.įigure 2: HP's Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fdw also supports VueScan. The model is suitable for a recommended print volume of about 4,000 pages per month (i.e., for smaller departments, branch offices, and small companies). It is a powerful multifunctional device with printing, scanning, and fax capabilities, in addition to a copy function. We used a current multifunctional device from the Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fdw series ( Figure 2), which costs around EUR400 (~$430), for our test. HPLIP has been in the software repositories of virtually all leading Linux distributions for years and is constantly growing to include driver modules for the latest HP models. The constantly updated HP Linux Imaging and Printing (HPLIP) application provides a graphical front end, based on SANE and the CUPS print server, to make multifunctional devices usable under a uniform interface. In addition to a wide range of other operating systems, HP also supports Linux as a platform. In fact, the company covers the entire range of applications from private users to large corporations.
Hewlett-Packard (HP) is one of the world's leading suppliers of dedicated scanners and multifunctional devices with a scan unit.
