Installing networked HP wireless M1213MFP printer via samba from kubuntu

What is the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep hplip

Thanks

You are not connecting to the networked printer via Samba, this has nothing to do with Samba.

lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep hplip

i will check for printer working and come back again.

Thanks a lot for the guidance

Right now when i give a print command it is giving errors only. i will see if i can understand anything it says and come back tomorrow again.

From an initial inspection/understanding it looks as if fax has been installed as it says it is sending a fax but askd for no number for fax sending etc.

Regards

mani

At the right side bottom HP logo has got added.

But including my earlier installations, 3 printers and 1 fax are showing up if I go to printer link.

Since I am having problems even now, but as many new files have been downloaded now, can I simply remove all 3 +1 the printers/fax installed and try to newly search/install a network printer?

If my question does not make sense, please advice me is there anything else I can do to proceed further?

Thanks once again

Mani

Wired, not wireless.

 I am sorry there is a fundamental mistake in my question.

 I don't know whether this mistake might be responsible still for my problems!

I used the trouble shooting guide as follows, with results appearing correctyly as suggested in it

FIRST Command.

hp-check -t

(As I could see no error anywhere I have not pasted it. In the following also there is no error message, but to show that it has diagonised the printer I am pasting the last few line only)

But whatever I attempt, it says, UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE PRINTER.

Any suggestion please. i have reinstalled the printer as per your suggestion a few times but the result stays the same

thank you

With my understanding, i am failing in installing some plugin that is needed, though it says plug in installed successfully.

Following is the error message. Any help please?

Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address.
IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon
Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-kubuntu" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.

Thanks

Thank you, at last the printer is printing. Though I had to install it many times. Definitely your directions helped me.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks actionparsnip, that solved my question.
