HPLIP and file PPD

Hello. I just installed Linux Endaevour. With HPLIP I am trying to install my HP network printer. My printer has an IP address and I ping it. In ‘manual recovery’ HPLIP finds my printer at this IP address but it is impossible to link the PPd file which is in usr / share / ppd / hp. HPLIP does not take it. What should I do?

Did you do the initial configuration?

hp-setup

Yes.

Manual recovery :
Found device: hp:/net/Photosmart_5510_series?ip=192.168.1.42
error: No PPD found for model photosmart_5510 using old algorithm.
error: No appropriate print PPD file found for model photosmart_5510_series

The ppd file exists in ‘usr / share / ppd / hp’ but hplip refuses to take it.

I solved my problem by applying this:

CÓMO AÑADIR EL SOPORTE DE IMPRESIÓN

Esto se hace desde la terminal con:

sudo pacman -S cups gutenprint foomatic-db foomatic-db-engine foomatic-db-nonfree foomatic-db-gutenprint-ppds foomatic-db-ppds foomatic-db-nonfree-ppds splix

Luego, habrá que iniciar el servicio de impresión. Esto se hace con:

sudo systemctl enable --now org.cups.cupsd.service

I have an HP Envy 5640, and this worked perfectly for me. Thanks!
