HPLIP 3.24.4 and Ubuntu 24.4.01

Asked by Jean Bartherotte

Hello,
I installed on my new laptop Ubuntu 24.04.04.
When I try to install HPLIP 24.04.1 for my HP Laser Jet Pro MFP M26nw, I get the error that the two releases are not compatible.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks

If you are running Ubuntu, then you should install the modified package from the Ubuntu repositories (based on version 3.23.12):

sudo apt install hplip hplip-gui

This helped to move forward the installation.
Nevertheless, the scanner launched via the HP new installed application failed with many errors.
I installed the ubuntu native application simple-scan (sudo apt install simple-scan) which enables me to access and use my printer's scanner.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
