#Hp photosmart 5520 series driver install#

I assume that the error colored in red is because during setup hp-setup couldnt locate PPD file by itself, but i solved that by locating it manualy. I klicked OK and i got the terminal output like this: I then inserted some info and located the PPD file: What i got was this QT popup window where I could choose my printer: What I normally do is read from top to bottom anyways, and highlight the areas that focus on my situation.

If a part is confusing, state which part? Since printer installation has a large variance depending on driver support/installation, there are going to be information on the wiki that doesn't apply to you. Please take a look at the wiki and see if further information can help you.

The scenario is similar to what you experienced earlier. This part is from the HP Printer segment of the CUPS wiki. After a reboot, you should have a fully working printer.

Finally, install the printer manually using the CUPS web ui, select the PPD file you retrieved then re-install hplip.

The workaround consists of installing hplip first, retrieving the corresponding PPD file from /usr/share/ppd/HP/, then, removing hplip entirely and the unnecessary dependencies. Note: hplip depends on foomatic-db-engine which prevents the drivers list from appearing when a printer is added to CUPS via the web user interface (following error : 'Unable to get list of printer drivers').
