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).

| SUMMARY |
-----------

error: 4 errors and/or warnings.

Summary of needed commands to run to satisfy missing dependencies:
sudo aptitude install --assume-yes cupsddk cupsddk-drivers
sudo aptitude install --assume-yes libcupsys2-dev cupsys-bsd
sudo modprobe ppdev
sudo cp -f /etc/modules /etc/modules.hplip
echo ppdev | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

Please refer to the installation instructions at:
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/index.html

Done.

HPLIP is able to detect the printer and seems to have good communication with it--however there doesn't seem to be any printer queues configured.

To configure the printer please run:

sudo hp-setup

Thanks.

Aaron

I did it during hplip installation.
I do it again now, creating a new printer with the same caracteristic of the previous.
The same error appears: cups-missing-filter.
I don't understand where the problem is.

Thanks.

Antonio

Now it's printing!!!
Thank you very much!!!

Antonio

Thanks Aaron Albright, that solved my question.
