Cannot connect HP Color Laser MFP 178nw over local network

Open martinellison opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

I have been unable to set up an HP colour laser printer. Please advise.

The printer is connected over the LAN and I can ping it without issues.

edit 1: There is a line in the model list: lsb/usr/HP/hp-color_laserjet_mfp_m178-m181-ps.ppd.gz HP ColorLaserJet MFP M178-M181 Postscript; can I use this somehow in CUPS?

edit 2: I can see that this might be really a firewall problem. It seems that Fedora replaced their old firewall by a new 'easy to understand' firewall and I have no idea what to do to get it working (or, even, whether this is a firewall issue at all). If you can help it would be good, at least by telling me whether it is really a firewall issue and if so who could help me.

HP Setup gives: (adding the IP address gives similar results).

Does anyone look at these issues?

@martinellison I got it working on Fedora 36. I deleted the printer in the gnome settings and than used the CUPS web frontend to configure a new one.

  • Point Browser to http://localhost:631/admin
  • Add Printer
  • chose found printer: HPF80DACE8CCFE (HP Color Laser MFP 178 179) (HP Color Laser MFP 178nw)
  • Left name and description as is
  • Chose first driver in the list: driverless:ipp://HPF80DACE8CCFE%20(HP%20Color%20Laser%20MFP%20178%20179)._ipp._tcp.local/
  • Left options as is

Hope this helps

Edit: Scanner just worked with Simple Scan
