Product: HP Color Laser MFP 178nw
Operating System: Linux

I'm trying to set up my printer under CUPS. Can anyone help me?

 

The printer is connected to my PC via LAN.

 

The printer is an MFP 178nw.

 

I am on Fedora 36.

 

I have got this working before, but I cannot find the correct connection string or the driver. I have the correct IP address. I need this for the add printer dialog in CUPS.

Also, hp-makeuri in debug mode is giving me

 

hp-makeuri[8513]: debug: Searching for section [hp_color_laser_mfp_178_179] in file /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat
error: Device not found

 

edit: there is an entry for [hp_colorlaserjet_mfp_m178-m181], could I make that work?

 

I have been trying various options. gnome settings will add the printer but only as ascii-only, which does not solve my requirements.

 

edit2: it seems from the network configuration report that the connection string should be ipp://192.168.0.158/ipp/print.

 

One plausible value for the driver is HP ColorLaserJet MFP M178-M181 Postscript (recommended) (color) but this does not seem to work (did not print test page)
