This is an entry level network-connected multi function printer. It
|
||
|
|
does not have a built-in Postscript interpreter. Instead, it receives
|
||
|
|
raster data through a proprietary network protocol implemented as
|
||
|
|
a closed source binary plugin to the CUPS filtering system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition to CUPS, the following ports must be installed:

* print/hplip-plugin

Once this is done, the printer can be added to CUPS. The standard
|
||
|
|
socket connection options cannot be used. Instead, the "HPLIP" transport
|
||
|
|
must be selected. The printer URI must be set manually from the output of
|
||
|
|
`hp-makeuri <IP-address>`. (The plugin requires an URI starting with
|
||
|
|
"hp:", and will reject any other device URI with an error message saying
|
||
|
|
"Error: This module is designed to work with HP Printers only").
