Good Day Robert... Unfortunately you are correct, it is an unsupported printer. As the support pages says,
"Some printers, however, are unsupported. The reasons for this may include issues with intellectual property, technical issues, or limited production numbers. Be advised that printers that appear on the unsupported list may never be supported by HPLIP." I hate cut and paste answers but there is really nothing else I can tell you in regards to unsupported printers. jh Robert Glover wrote: > Hello, > > I have a simple question about supported printers.
