HPLIP - P2055dn printer says network not supported

Asked by SteveP

The printer support page says that network in NOT SUPPORTED for the P2055dn printer - is this a mistake as the 'n' in the name specifically says it's a network printer.

I'm looking for such a printer but if networking from Linux is not supported its no good is it.

Please email answer to me.

Many thanks

I'm working on fixing this in a future release. In the mean while edit the file:

/usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat

Search for p2055dn

find the section:

[hp_laserjet_p2055dn]

support-ver=2.8.10
tech-class=LJMono,Postscript
tech-subclass=Normal
tech-type=3
usb-pid=5c17
usb-vid=3f0

and replace it with this:

[hp_laserjet_p2055dn]
align-type=0
clean-type=0
color-cal-type=0
copy-type=0
embedded-server-type=0
fax-type=0

support-ver=2.8.10
tech-class=LJMono,Postscript
tech-subclass=Normal
tech-type=3
usb-pid=5c17
usb-vid=3f0

Then save the file, delete your other printer queues and use hp-setup to configure the printer. You should be working after this.

Hope this helps and sorry for the inconvenience.
