Cannot find the usb printer

Why did you not add the printer make and model?

Hi, thanks for your response. I added the printer type and selected the correct driver from the library. It still could not find the USB port for the printer.

Doesn't answer my question. ....

What is the exact model and make of your printer? That is what actionparsnip is asking....

Please also send us the full Terminal output of this command:

lsmod | grep usb ; lsusb ; ls -l /dev/usb/lp* /dev/bus/usb/*/* ; hp-info -i; lpinfo -v; sudo usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0

Please copy-paste the command into the Terminal instead of typing each letter manually....

Hi this is what I got from the command. The printer is a HP LaserJet P1606DN

Please first run these Terminal commands to uninstall the currently installed version of hplip:

sudo apt-get remove hplip

sudo apt-get remove hplip-data

I then suggest performing a manual install of hplip.

You can install hplip-3.13.8 manually using this procedure:

http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/distros/ubuntu.html

Don't forget to run

sudo hp-setup

at the end of the procedure.

Once the previous step is done (step #6), you can try configuring the printer via the LAN, as explained here:
