Supported Models

Printing, scanning, and faxing with HP All-In-One (AIO) printers is supported by the hplip project. The hplip package is included in Ubuntu.

Please see here for a list of supported devices.

Setup printing

This wiki page has screenshots of hp-setup.

Troubleshoot printing

Run:

sudo hp-check -r

This will summarize any installation errors.

error: hp-setup requires GUI support

In 14.04, you need to execute the following in a terminal before running hp-setup:

sudo apt-get install python-qt4

In 15.04, you need to install python3-pyqt4 running the following command in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt4

Otherwise, you'll get:

warning: Qt/PyQt 4 initialization failed.

error: hp-setup requires GUI support (try running with --qt3). Also, try using interactive (-i) mode. 

Setup scanning

For local scanning, once plugged in, it should be immediately available for scanning by running Simple Scan or Xsane.

Network scanning

If one is sharing out a USB connected All-In-One, one may utilize saned.

Troubleshoot scanning

If your all-in-one printer is on a network and you use the Gnome Printers window to add the printer as an HP Jet-Direct printer, then you will not be able to scan. To solve this problem, you must first determine the URI of the printer by executing inside a terminal window:

hp-makeuri IP-ADDRESS

where IP-ADDRESS should be replaced with the IP address of your printer. This will show the CUPS (printing) and SANE (scanning) URIs for your printer.

Next, there are two approaches to accessing the networked scanner:
