HPLIP

Installing on Ubuntu headless (no GUI) server

Asked by Martin Main

I am trying to install with the guidance

apt install hplip

hp-setup 192.168.10.50

but just get 'Cannot establish connection to the host.' which I assume is due to no GUI

Is there anyway to install without GUI?

Try

hp-setup -i 192.168.10.50

for interactive mode instead of GUI mode, see the man pages for more options

Thanks I was not accessing via a proper ssh terminal. After using correct access your advice worked fine
