…if the printer is not configuered correct, my next question would be if dual-boot is configuered correct.
- [root tip] [How To] Dual boot Manjaro and Windows preparation
…I have never dual-booted, so don’t ask me.
My way to install HP printer:
1.) install manjaro-printer, for scanning (my preference) simple-scan.
sudo pacman -Syu manjaro-printer simple-scan
2.) disable firewall, you can set rules later.
3.) add yourself to the sys group.
sudo gpasswd -a yourusername sys
4.) enable cups from terminal.
sudo systemctl enable --now cups.service
sudo systemctl enable --now cups.socket
sudo systemctl enable --now cups.path
…from terminal:
hp-setup -u
(no sudo!! …you will be prompted to give permission when needed)
…when terminal says “done”, close terminal, open HP Device Manager from menu
and set up your preferences.
5.) If you need a plugin, be careful when using AUR-plugin. It is not always in sync with manjaro stable.
Watch out for matching version. When you test scanning/printing hp-setup will ask you to install the plugin.
Prefer the option to get the plugin directly from HP, whether loaded automatically or manually.
