Comment 15 for bug 1442734

mgagnon303 Got it but here is another way of describing the workflow:

0. Use hplip from the Repos! Do not try to install the latest from HP unless you want to waste time like I did.
1. Download the plugin for your printer at https://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/
2. run 'hp-plugin' and select the file you downloaded in step 1.
3. run 'hp setup' and you will likely have to select the file downloaded in step 1 again.?

4. Avoid HP printers. I have wasted hours with HP printers on Unix/Linux. Try Brother printers since they package their drivers as .dep installers.
