How to use my HP Deskjet 1510 all-in-one in Wary 5.5?

#1 Post by stroodle »

Hi all. I'm a first time user of Linux and have recently installed Wary Puppy 5.5. I have tried to install my printer but to no avail :? . It appears that the required driver (HP Deskjet 1510 all in one) is missing from CUPS. However, I understand HPLIP is an alternative way of installing printers/scanners but I haven't got a clue how to go about installing HPLIP.

I understand there are several 'how-to' guides out there but I find that even these are too advanced for my understanding of Linux.

I would very much appreciate if someone could explain to me in a simple step-by-step guide on how to install HPLIP and from there, find and install my printer.

Any help towards the issue will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for reading :)

Your source for information about printing in Puppy is here. At the bottom of the main post, there is a link to the HPLIP printer driver package hplip_print-3.13.11.pet. It supports your Deskjet 1510.

Please report back.
