Photosmart C4524

Asked by Fighter125

Hello,
I have got a HP Photosmart C4524 which isn't in the list of supported Printers an isn't in the list of unsupported Printers.
So my question is: Is it supported? (maybe my printer works with another printers driver because they are similiar?)

Thanks for your help!

Sincerely
Alexander B.

PS: I am sorry for my bad english.

Alexander,

It could be that the C4524 is a printer that is specific to your country.

Save the file, disconnect the printer and reconnect. Then run hp-setup to configure the printer.

Does the printer work now?

If it does we'll look into adding it into the next release.

Let me know please!

Thanks.
