Ubuntu – Does ubuntu support HP 1320 printer

drivershpprinting

I have an older HP1320 laser printer and had a difficult time getting the drivers to work with my windows computer.

Does Ubuntu come with this driver already built in or will I have to go through the whole process again if I use it??

Best Answer

Ubuntu has an older version of hplip drivers, but better to download newer version if newer printer or even if older it may have bug fixes.

HP's newest On this website you can download the HPLIP software which supports 2,211 HP printers on nearly any Linux distribution available today.

Ubuntu's older version

sudo apt-get install hplip-gui
gksudo hp-setup

new version

hp-upgrade

I also get no system tray error but have ignored them without issue.

No system tray error: open up the "startup applications" editor from the admin menu. add a new program, for the command put:

sleep 10;/usr/bin/hp-systray
