HPLIP

HP LaserJet Enterprise M553 does not work on CentOS 7.5

Asked by Henrique Lorran

I have a CentOS 7.5.1804 (Core) operating system and a Color LaserJet Enterprise M553 printer. I downloaded version 3.19.3 of HPLIP on the official site for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system (Version 7 - Full Package) and when trying to install I used the command:

rpm -ivh hplip-3.19.3_rhel-7.0.x86_64.rpm

I obtained the following return:

error: Failed dependencies:
 libImageProcessor.so()(64bit) is needed by hplipfull-3.19.3-0.x86_64
 libImageProcessor.so(VERS_1.0)(64bit) is needed by hplipfull-3.19.3-0.x86_64
 libsane.so.1()(64bit) is needed by hplipfull-3.19.3-0.x86_64

Is there any way to resolve these issues?

As I could not, I used the following command to install HPLIP:

yum install hplip

The following version has been installed:

hplip-3.15.9-3.el7.x86_64

In the supported printers page (https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/supported_devices/index), I found the following information:

HP Color LaserJet Enterprise m553n - 3.15.4 (Min. HPLIP Version)

So, theoretically the package installed by YUM should work, right?

Then I used the following command to configure the printer:

hp-setup

I selected the USB connection and the printer was found, proceeded normally and clicked on Add Printer, I typed the super user credentials and OK. After that, I opened HP Device Manager and entered the Status tab. The current information displays Idle, the current date and time, code 1000. Then click on Print Test Page on the Actions tab, when you return to the Status tab, the current information displays Device communication error, the current date and time, code 5012 and description: Please correct the problem and try again.

How should I proceed?

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]
