Comment 6 for bug 1785603

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.

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.
