I guess, hplip-gui is and will not be available one way or the other, unless I am wrong?
Thanks!
GNOME isn’t responsible for this project. Are you sure you’re in the right place?
Yes, I know - just thought s.o. had it up and running by chance. Thanks.
Hi! Do you ask about support for it in GNOME in general or support for it in GNOME OS?
I run GNOME OS although experimental. Since HP devices have a wide user base, support for hplib-gui makes sense in both IMHO.
What’s the use of hplip-gui? I have HP printers/scanners at home and never heard and needed this software.
It contains the official drivers. When a HP printer is recognized, GNOME OS redirects to flatpak and is not able to find the driver.
@HROMANO: How did the drivers install for you?
I just add the printer as IPP (driverless) using CUPS and the scanner part is recognized as a WSD.
GNOME OS might by default - when adding a printer - either look for drivers on flatpak or run the IPP-over-USB daemon. The latter issues on my main (older) printer this error message:
Unsupported Personality: UNKNOWN
I guess, it would feel happier as with any other Linux using the official drivers from hplip-gui.
@valentindavid can you chime in?
