New installation of Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

Printer HP Laserjet 100 Colot MPF M175nw30 cannot be detected by hlip-3.21.4

Everithing seems to work properly but "Printer is not HPLIP installed" so that I cannot use scanner. I tried all troubleshooting but I MUST be missing something. Can anyone help?

    Google, linux HP Laserjet 100 Color MFP M175nw → one of the first hits is this https://beeznest.com/blog/2015/03/16/configure-hp-laserjet-100-colormfp-m175nw-scanner-on-ubuntu/ – Knud Larsen May 28 '21 at 12:14
  • Thank you. I guess the problem was with the manual install of hlip-3.21.4 package from HP support page. After running sudo apt-get install hplip and sudo hp-setup The first time nothing happened. The same error "no printer detected". The second time the printer was finally detected! At this point there was ANOTHER ISSUE: The automatic command (hp-plugin) to download the plugin did not work. – Massimiliano G. May 29 '21 at 09:24

    I have solved following the discussion in [link](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1245010/hplip-driver-install-fails-on-ubuntu-20-04) Although I already had hplip-3.21.4.run installed in my system. I manually downloaded the latest script from the HPLip website [link](https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/plugins) and run sh hplip-3.21.4-plugin.run Finally the printer was succesfully installed. – Massimiliano G.

Thanks to Knud Larsen for sharing the resource.

I guess the problem was with the manual install of hlip-3.21.4 package from the HP support page.

After running:

sudo apt-get install hplip

and:

sudo hp-setup

the first time nothing happened. I had the same error:

no printer detected

The second time I have issued the command sudo hp-setup, the printer was finally detected!

At this point there was another issue: the automatic command (hp-plugin) to download the plugin did not work.

I have solved the problem following the discussion in this question in Ask Ubuntu: HPLIP Driver install fails on Ubuntu 20.04

Although I already had hplip-3.21.4.run installed in my system, I manually downloaded the latest script from the HPLIP website and ran:

sh hplip-3.21.4-plugin.run

Finally the printer was successfully installed.
