I Gave up at that point.

If this happens to you, then open the HPLIP Device Manager and click on the '+' icon to setup a new device. Click 'Show Advanced Options', then check 'Manual Discovery'. Fill in the entry box that becomes active, either with the IP Address of your printer, or it's network name (which has also never worked for me). You should then be able to complete the wizard and the printer will then appear in the left-hand pane of the Device Manager. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting at BEC: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2019-02-05 20:00 Check if you're replying to the list or the author Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
