How to set up the driver for an HP all-in-one printer/scanner on CentOS 7 Linux?

First, install these packages and it may ask you to download and install other plugins. Without these packages, my printer does work.

# yum install hplip hplip-gui hpijs

Second, install plugins for the HP printer.

# hp-plugin

Then you can try to install the printer again:

# hp-setup

  1. I have tried for hours to install a HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2676 Printer wireless to no avail
    When running hp_setup the printer is not seen. I run Windows (dual-boot) on the same box and the printer is fine from Windows. Any help would be appreciated.

  3. The final command gave me this output:

    [root@localhost ~]# hp-setup

    HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.18.4)
    Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 9.0

  4. I could not use hp-setup to complete the printer setup for a wireless HP LaserJet Professional Printer 1102W. It failed at the last step.
    What worked for me is:
    yum install hplip hplip-gui hpijs
    hp-plugin
    I then used GOOGLE CHROME to configure the printer. There are a few selections to be made along the way which I do not recall but if someone see this and wants the GOOGLE CHROME setup steps, I can recreate and provide the information.
