I've been trying unsuccessfully to set up Jessie as print server with an old HP Laserjet 1012. I thought that maybe I needed the HPLIP plugin compiled for ARM that was first released in HPLIP 3.15. The Jesse repository offers 3.14 so I seem to need a manual install.

When I tried to install HPLIP 3.16 the installer asks for a root superuser password. The password "raspberry" fails to work. Please help if you know a solution.

You printer is supported from version 0.9.5 so the version in Jessie is OK

Therefore you need CUPS and HPLIP from Repository:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cups hplip

You then need to install the Printer via CUPS, this for a different printer but basics the same:

I have a HP Printer and this works for me....
