Hi,
after three or more trials, this looks like a mess. Go back to start, undo what you have done, then open thunar, click “show hidden files”, delete the .hplip configuration folder, don’t forget to get rid of that snap package.
…now, please read:
- Printing - Manjaro simple and clear explanation
…in addition to the official help, here is my setup routine:
1.) disable firewall, you can set rules later.
2.) install manjaro-printer, for scanning simple-scan (my preference) or xsane.
sudo pacman -Syu manjaro-printer simple-scan
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
…now also from terminal:
hp-setup -u
(no sudo!! …you will be prompted to give permission when needed, that mistake f#!ks up most setups.)
…when terminal says “done”, close terminal, open HP Device Manager from menu
and set up your preferences (Action, Staus, Supplies, Print Settings, Printer Control).
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! Instead, when testing 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 .
