The HPLIP site says you need hplip 2.8.10 or higher.
hplip 3.9.12 is available in the MEPIS 8.0 Community Repository. Under Settings -> Repositories in Synaptic, add this entry: http://main.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/repo mepis8cr main non-free Reload, and you will find hplip 3.9.12 listed. Debian splits hplip up into several packages so you might also wish to install hpijs, hpijs-ppds hplip-cups & hplip-gui just to make sure you have everything. |

Thanks Tim. Followed your suggestion, however driver didn't show up.
Interesting as this is, last night, just for kicks, I fired up a beta version of M8.5 and it found the printer easily and I was able to add it. I may have to bite the bullet and install 8.5. _________________ [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] ______________________________________________ Hal Registered Linux User #405913 http://counter.li.org/ |

OK, took the plunge and installed M8.5. Still feeling my way around but as stated in my previous post installing the P2055dn as a network printer was a piece of cake.

Re: HPLIP for HP P2055dn Trying to solve similar problem with different HP printer, I can't get hplip 3.x via synaptic, even with said repo added and synaptic reloaded -- all I can find is hplip 2.8.6* !!! WTF?
