HPLIP install laserjet 1102p

[mke21]

This printer needs the propriety plugin. However, when HPLIP downloads the plugin, it returns a checksum error, refusing to go on. Reading up on this, it seems that this usually occurs when you have an older version of HPLIP. My version seems to be 3.20.6 here on manjaro, while 3.20.9 is out now. Strange thing is that Arch seems to be on 3.20.9 already, but I just don’t seem to be able to install it here in Manjaro. Re-installing ends up with 3.20.6 again. Downloaded directly from the HP site, it ends up with all kinds of dependency errors, python qt4 being the major one and it refuses to install. Long story short. I can’t seem to use my Laserjet with Manjaro Does anybody know how to do this and can the HPLIP version be updated to the newer version please?

1.) Keep 3.20.6 and download the plugin from…
https://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/files/hplip/
…this one worked for me, but…
https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/plugins
…Edit:…works now too.
Don’t forget to install manjaro-printer for a troublefree setup.
2.) Change to testing and be on 3.20.9 (like arch)

Ah forgot, welcome !

Hplip HP 1102w Laserjet install failure

here is how i made this printer to function. First Hp-setup could not detect my printer P1102W. The reason was that the file models.dat contained the wrong name: Hp_laserjet_professional_p_1102w instead of Hp_laserjet_professional_p1102w This file is located at /usr/share/hplip/data/models It seems that other printer names are also misspelled in this file, the all seems to have the extra underscore in the name…it looks intentional Second The required plugin could not be installed This …

Here i posted a solution for not be able to install a hp printer, it may help you too.

If the checksum fails, wich occurs often, it should give you the option to ignore the checksum and continue the install

The separate downloadable run file worked. Thanks!
