HPLIP

How do I download a plugin through an authenticating proxy.

Asked by Christopher Judd

I have an HP 1600, and have just installed HPLIP 3.9.2. When I run hp-setup, it fails when attempting to download the plugin. Our internet connection is through an authenticating proxy. Is there any way to run hp-setup in this case? If, not, where can I manually download the driver? Thanks.

You can download the plugin here:

http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/hplip-3.9.2-plugin.run

You can also set the proxy using:

export http_proxy=http://host.com:port/
export ftp_proxy=http://host.com:port/
export no_proxy=.domain.com
export HTTP_PROXY=http://host.com:port/
export FTP_PROXY=http://host.com:port/

That you can use wget, etc.

Hope this helps.
