Chances are, your Linux system already has the HPLIP software installed. That's because all major Linux distributions regularly pick up the HPLIP software and include it with their distribution installation. However, if it is not installed or you need to upgrade to a newer HPLIP version to support your printer, you've come to the right place.

On this website you can download the HPLIP software which supports 2388 HP printers on nearly any Linux distribution available today.

You can also find answers to many of your questions within our new knowledge base, or post a question on the Get Help page when you can't find the answer directly.

For a more detailed overview of HPLIP see the About page or just browse the site and let us know what you think on the Get Help page.

HPLIP, HP Print, Scan and Fax Drivers for Linux, has recently reached v3.14.10 with Ubuntu 14.10 Beta, and lots of new printers support.
HPLIP (Hewlett-Packard Linux Imaging & Printing) is an HP-developed solution for printing, scanning, and faxing with HP inkjet and laser based printers in Linux. The HPLIP project provides printing support for 2,388 printer models, including Deskjet, Officejet, Photosmart, PSC (Print Scan Copy), Business Inkjet, LaserJet, Edgeline MFP, and LaserJet MFP.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/files/hplip/

Once the download process finish, open a terminal window and cd to the downloads folder:

cd ~/Downloads

Thanks for making it easy to find all this stuff, and a good quick Reference for all those that run hplip! I wasn't sure to post here as it seems this would be a good Tutorial, or Pinned - not sure of the difference besides where they are located? Linux Documentation is driving me Crazy! LOL. Especially in the Printer and General Driver area, Graphics etc. I have spent hours when I didn't need to, but it's all a bit disorganized to say the least.

pcpunk out!

If I don't reply right away it's because I'm waiting for Windows 10 to Update.
