Hi,
I am trying to install a HP Color Laser 178nw
Cups (and also lsusb) sees the printer, but I can't find a driver for it. The list of printer cups, and also the HP support website, is long, but I no Color Laser 178nw.
On the HP support site no driver can be found at all, regardless the choice of OS.
The openprinting.org site also shows no Color Laser 178nw.
It was bought very recently, so I wouldn't think it's a too old model.
I have been caught by problems like that before, so the advice is, check for Linus support before purchase. Are you using Leap or Tumbleweed? If Leap, you should add the printing repository, and update cups and drivers (specially the hplip packages). Maybe you are lucky and the new version supports your printer, but I fear that if even HP say nothing about support (in their Linux printing site, not the general site), then you are out of luck. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
