HPLIP

Support for Color LaserJet CP1525

Asked by Ofir Klinger

Hello,

I just got my new HP printer. I originally ordered HP Color LaserJet CP1515n, but I was told that there is a newer model and that I should take it. So I took it. The newer model is HP Color LaserJet CP1525n.

Before taking the newer model, I consulted the HP website:
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/18972-18972-3328060-15077-3328070-4052975.html
This page says that Ubuntu (and Linux in general) IS supported.

Now, when I try to install the printer, I see that the printer IS NOT supported by HPLIP.

Can someone please explain me why the HP website says something and the HPLIP website says something else?

Ofir

Hi,

 I am sorry to inform you that presently we are not supporting HP Color LaserJet CP1525 printer on Linux. We might be supporting in next release but we can not guarantee a fixed timeline.
 If you wish to have a printer that works on Linux, always go to site http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/index.html and check if it is supported on Linux and you can consider your purchase for the right model type.

 Please wait for next HPLIP release so that your model will be supported.

Thanks and Regards
Ani Balakrishnan
