Support for HP LaserJet MFP M28w

Asked by Marc

Hi,

I tried to install the new LaserJet MFP M28w on my Linux system, but obviously this printer isn't supported yet. Is there any garantee that it will be supported in the future? If yes, when can I expect the next HPLIP release?

Thanks for any answers.

Greetings

Hi Badal,

That's good news. I already had looked for the release announcement, but only could find the release notes…

Anyways, thank you!

Hi !
I am on ubuntu 18.04. My printer is working properly but my scanner is not working! In the terminal, the commande line hp-uiscan -g orders : "hp-uiscan[2187]: debug: Using PyQt4". ...And PyQt4 is already installed !?
Thanks
Jp

The scanner has been reported as not working in several places, maeyaert, due to some timeout. I believe there are some workarounds but nothing yet just to scan cleanly from any regular SANE frontend.
