I can't install hplip, got errors

What is the printer model?

Brian.

The model is HP Scan Jet Pro 2500 f1 (its a scanner).

I proceed to a fresh install because I've get some dependency errors also before, so now when I try to proceed to a manual install I've got this return from the terminal:

And when I try to use the automatic installer this is what I've got:

Thanks!

The HPLIP version 3.19.11 didn't have support for Linux Mint 19.3 .

Download the latest HPLIP version 3.20.3 from https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing and kindly check again.

If the problem persists revert back again.

Hello,

I've get the installation done but it was not able to detect the ScanJet yet. I reboot the computer, use another USB port, nothing.

The version 3.20.3 is the installed one now:

So, I tried a Setup Device:

I also proceed with a diagnostic:

When HP Device Manager try to scan for the scanner device, it wasn't able to find it either:
http://download.guillaumesoucy.com/forums_content/launchpad.net/pictures/Screenshot%20from%202020-04-20%2023-06-37.png

Is I need to do something else after having the HP Device Manager installed on the computer to get the HP ScanJet detected by the software?

Is the scanner connected to the computer? Is it switched on?
What output do you receive for the commands

sane-find-scanner
sudo sane-find-scanner

Hi,

Yes, the scanner is connected and it is on.

This is the command output:

  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

Apparently at least an access right problem.

Any idea?

Hello,

Any idea?

Q: "I can't install hplip, got errors"
A: "I've get the installation done"
So your question is answered, isn't it?

If you have problems using a scanner, then you should create a new question.

ok, question has been marked as solved and a new one will be opened soon concerning the usage of the machinery in question, as suggested.

Regards,

Guillaume
