Need plugin file for HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer
I'm trying to get my HP LJ Pro M1212nf Multifunction printer working on my Gentoo system.
I have hplip installed and it has downloaded plugins for a lot of other printers, but none for mine which should be named: hp_laserjet_
I cannot get my printer to work without this file. Does anyone know of a source to download it?
I have read (and tried) the process here in the kbase but IT DOES NOT DOWNLOAD THE PLUGIN: http://
Here is my hp-check info:
HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.16.3)

This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
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).
Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]
