HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf not showing up in HPLIP on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf
When the printer is plugged in via USB the ubuntu printer set up starts but can't find the specific driver needed to make it work. Opening HPLIP says that no printers are connected via USB (even though it definitely is). I tried to update HPLIP but I am not well versed in terminal that I can make the new HPLIP 3.10.5? install.
Below is the hp-check -t

This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it
under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details.
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).
