<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I have installed several HP printers on
Linux Ubuntu with ease.<br>
I never had to install a PPD file - although the option to install
a PPD is present.<br>
It seems to me that Debian should be similar.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Can you find the HP Device Manager in
your software and see what it says about your printer?<br>
(It is installed by hplip)</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Sorry I can say more from a distance.<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">By the way, I always extract PDF files
from Scribus and then print the PDF.<br>
It is safer and saves paper...</div>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">This is a bit off-topic, but, for printing from Scribus I have an HP2055dn, which I see from the Scribus documentation is actually a recommended printer. I can print fine from Windows, but I can't install the printer in Linux. It seems the missing component is the PPD file. I installed HP’s hplip utility and it detects the printer, but then it can't install the printer because it needs the correct PPD file. I haven't found where to get this file, either from HP or from my Linux distro, which is Debian.
