HP Photosmart 7520 setup in Elementary OS /Ubuntu Precise

Asked by JoaoH on 2014-04-04

I am running Elementary OS Luna which is Ubutu 12.04 underneath. All works well, I have an HP Photosmart 7510 and hplip set it up perfectly. I like the printer so much I purchased another one, but this one is the 7520.
I cannot get it to be recognized by hplip in network mode in order for the scanning to work. I can add it using CUPS and it prints with no issue.

I decided to install the latest version of hplip and now I am running 3.14.3 and it still will not recognize the printer using the network mode.

I decided to give the printer a fixed ip address and run the Manual Discovery for Network/Ethernet/Wireless using the fixed ip address and it still does not find it. Yet I can put the same ip address in the browser and can access the printer perfectly!

It also still finds the 7510 perfectly!

Now, my daughter has a alptop with Gnome Ubuntu 13.10 and it finds both perfectly?

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).
