cannot install driver for hp deskjet 2510

Asked by Jon Macheath

hello,

I am trying to install the driver for my new HP Deskjet 2510 all-in-one Printer.
I am running Linux MInt 12

I followed the directions of the installer wlkthrough- downloaded HPLIP 3.13.2 automatic installer and ran it.

I believe thats supposed to install the driver. yet while running it in the terminal i got a bunch of error messages and the installation did not complete.

The following is what the Terminal did while running :

Hi,

What happens when you run the following command.

                   sudo apt-get install --assume-yes python-dev

In case it does not work please provide us the output of this command.

As a workaround you can also install all the missing packages from synaptic package manager and then run hplip-3.13.2.run file fromthe terminal.

Packages to be installed are :
libcups2 cups libcupsimage2-dev libcups2-dev cups-bsd cups-client libdbus-1-dev build-essential ghostscript openssl libjpeg62-dev libsnmp-dev libtool libusb-1.0.0-dev wget python-imaging policykit-1 policykit-1-gnome python-qt4 python-qt4-dbus python-dbus python-gobject python-dev python-notify python python-reportlab libsane libsane-dev sane-utils xsane

Thanks,
Sanjay

Hi,

many thanks for your help! its much appreciated.

i ran the command
 sudo apt-get install --assume-yes python-dev
not sure if it worked - or what was supposed to happen...

i ended up manually installing the packages you mentioned with synaptic. (not all were missing)
I ran hplip-3.13.2.run and it worked like a dream!

thanks once again.
