Wireless Printing From Linux

[Lil_Boy_Blue]

AS I posted earlier "w" means wireless.

... and as you JUST posted, it is a NON wireless model that I somehow expected to work in Linux.

OR you have bought a WiFi printer and ......

Wot I might try...

Step 1 whatever the OS the printer needs to connect and get an IP address from the Modem/Router, FIX it and record the MAC address accordingly.  WPS button or PIN.

Step 2 ping it from whatever OS I have. So it's known to reachable.

Step 3 Does the printer need to be connected by USB to install anything? If so, Do so.

Next is whether the OS is going to be installed as a Secure Boot (Signed OS) or not.

And whether to run Virtual Box with a MS OS there-in.

"After reinstalling Ubuntu 12.10 it worked. Somehow, connecting it via an ethernet cable and installing it as a network printer did the trick."

so cleverer people than me have answers.

Although I have used HP printers wirelessly on Linux Ubuntu for some years I have suffered problems first with an Office key 3831 and then with it's replacement, a 3833. The 3831 would print but not scan and the new one will scan but prints only very, very slowly (about a paragraph in 20-30 minutes).

I fully agree with the comments you have made, I too fail to understand why a large company claims full support for Linux but is so unhelpful regarding the follow-through in sorting out problems. If anyone from HP cares enough to look at Launchpad they will find my question [edit]

Best of luck - should you have the good fortune to find an all_in-one printer of another make that works please post details here, the very sizeable Linux community would find it of interest.
