Hello,

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).

HP LaserJet m1522nf Multifunction Printer
...
This printer REQUIRES a downloadable driver plug-in.
Use hp-setup to install the printer, and to download and install the plug-in.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Did you use hp-setup to download and install the plug-in
and the install the printer?

Hi,

As there are some of the dependencies missing in the hp-check log. Please install the latest hplip 3.12.2 version by downloading the driver hplip-3.12.2.run from http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/gethplip.html and install it by running command "sh hplip-3.12.2.run" in terminal. This will auto install the hplip-3.12.2.

Next, run command "hp-setup" in terminal and setup the device.

If you are configuring the device over the network , please select the second option in the hp-setup tool and click the advance option and check the manual discovery option and enter the IP address of the printer in there and proceed.

Thanks,
Goutam

Hello,
by opening port 5353 using sh hplip-3.12.2.run the printer could finally be installed with the hp-setup command.
Thanks!

WHAT!?
Does hplip-3.12.2.run open ports in the firewall?
If yes, it could be a major security issue!

Revision history for this message
Larissa Junek (l-junek) said : 		#6

yes obviously:
 in hplip-3.12.2.run there is the following menu:

OPEN MDNS/BONJOUR FIREWALL PORT (MULTICAST PORT 5353)
-----------------------------------------------------
In order to setup your printer on the network using mDNS/Bonjour, it is required that your internet firewall allows connections on port
5353. If this port is blocked by the firewall, connection to network printers using mDNS/Bonjour will not be possible.

Do you wish to open this port on your internet firewall (y=yes*, n=no, q=quit) ?

Johannes Meixner (jsmeix) said : 		#7

Ah!
It explicitly asks you to open ports in your firewall
so that you are informed what is going on.
Then everything is o.k.!

FYI:
In the openSUSE package "hplip" we have the file
/etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2.d/services/hplip
which provides information for the SuSEfirewall2
to open "mdns" and "svrloc" ports in the SuSEfirewall2 for HPLIP.
You can use the YaST firewall module to set up this.
