Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or
.run) to determine if the proper dependencies are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or
an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the above cases
(both compile- and run-time dependencies).

Hi Rudolf,
As per the logs info (hp:/usb/Deskjet_3070_B611_series?serial=CN1743C3K805MQ), looks like device is configured through USB instead of wlan.

Please remove configured queues and re-configure as follow:-
1) run "system-config-printer" from terminal
2) remove the "Deskjet-3070-B611-series" printer.
3) run "hp-setup" from terminal and follow navigation.
$ hp-setup 192.168.178.26

Please let us know if you need more information.

Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath

Hi Amarnath,

first, my problem is solved, the communication is fuctioning. I don't tested scanning but i'm in a good feeling that it will work.

Many thanks

Best regards Rudi
