Bug#1008997: further information



First step is to go to

http://www.openprinting.org/

There you scroll down and find a link to the "Driverless Printers" list. Click "Browse". You get onto

https://openprinting.github.io/printers/

into the search field enter "Envy 553". The last digit does not matter. Different last digits usually only mean different power plugs for the different destination countries.

So your printer supports AirPrint, one of the driverless IPP standards.

Your printer's Wi-Fi is flaky, so use IPP-over-USB. Keep the printer connected to USB and install the "ipp-usb" package. Having done this your printer should appear already in the print dialogs of many applications.

If not, create a driverless print queue:

First, run

driverless

You will get an URI for your printer, most probably

ipp://localhost:60000/ipp/print

Create a driverless queue with this URI:

lpadmin -p envy -E -v ipp://localhost:60000/ipp/print -m everywhere

Now all your apps should show your printer with queue name "envy". Can you print on this queue?

   Till

P. S.: Avoid HPLIP if you do not REALLY need it.
