Hi Fred,

Please do an update of debian os. Then retry installing hplip-3.18.7.run.
Let me know if you still see the issue.

Regards,
Srinivas Teja.

Changed in hplip:

One of the languages your printer deals in is PDF emulation. This makes it an ideal candidate for driverless printing on stretch. The question is - are you wedded to using HPLIP or do you just want to print?

Hi Srinivas,

My system udpated to 9.5, but the issue is still present.
Installer claims that only 9.1 is supported ...

Best regards,
Frédéric

Hi Brian,

My printer is HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw. I do use scanning and draw some schematics too, not only text.
Hplip is the only driver proposed by HP to support this printer, as far as I know.
Do you know about an alternative for short term?
Thanks,

Best regards,

Frédéric

Hi,

HPLIP 3.18.7 doesnot support 9.5 yet. So you are getting error "Installer claims that only 9.1 is supported ...".
I have tried installing hplip-3.18.7.run on debian 9.4 and it installed without any failure.
Actually pyqt4-dbus and pyqt4 packages are not required and installer will not complain as missed packages.
You can also see this in build and install step "--disable-qt4 --enable-qt5"
Instead pyqt5-dbus and pyqt5 packages are only required and used.

Regards,
Srinivas Teja.

Hi Frédéric,

Sorry, I cannnot help with installing from hplip-3.18.7.run or with why srinivas installed without any failure but you did not. My only suggestion would be to purge any existing Debian hplip packages from the system with apt before trying again.

> Hplip is the only driver proposed by HP to support this printer,

The future of printing is not to need any drivers. With the M281fdw it is here for you now.

1. Get the device on the network with a cabled or wireless connection.

2. Check that AirPrint is enabled (it probably is) by connecting to the IP address of the device with a web browser (see the manual).

3. Check that the Bonjour broadcasts from the device are detected with avahi-daemon by looking at the output of 'avahi-browse -art'.

4. In /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf have CreateIPPPrinterQueues Yes and restart cups-browsed.

5. 'lpstat -a' and print dialogs of applications should list the printer.

We can deal with scanning later.

Frédéric - some feedback on how you are progressing with this issue would be useful. It seems a shame to have a nice, new printer and not have it working.

As a note, I managed working around it on Debian stretch (9.5) by choosing custom installation and then not selecting support for QT4 but support for QT5.
