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....
