Hello @Deep112, and welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for posting your question. I'm here to help you get things back on track.

I understand you're having trouble installing your HP printer on Ubuntu LTS. Let's walk through the steps to get your printer up and running.

HP provides a dedicated open-source driver package called HPLIP (HP Linux Imaging and Printing) that supports most HP printers on Linux distributions including Ubuntu.

Check if HPLIP is already installed

Open a terminal and run:

hp-check -r

If this command fails, proceed to install HPLIP manually.

Download and Install HPLIP

Visit the official HPLIP download page:
HP Linux Imaging and Printing | hp's Developer Portal

1. Select your Ubuntu version.
2. Download the .run installer file.
3. Open Terminal and run:

cd ~/Downloads

chmod +x hplip-.run

./hplip-.run

Replace <version> with the actual file name you downloaded.

During installation, choose "Yes" when prompted to install missing dependencies.

Connect and Configure Your Printer

Once HPLIP is installed:

• Connect your printer via USB or ensure it's on the same Wi-Fi network.
• Run the HP Device Manager:

hp-setup
 

Follow the on-screen instructions to detect and configure your printer.

Test Printing

Try printing a test page from your printer settings or using:

lpstat -p

Troubleshooting Tips

• If your printer is not detected, ensure it's powered on and properly connected.
• For Wi-Fi printers, verify network connectivity and IP address.
