Can't find Ubuntu drivers for the HP Envy 4520 printer












3















My daughter bought me an HP Envy 4520 AllInOne printer. I am trying to install drivers for that printer on Ubuntu and when I go to the HP Linux site, I see lots of printers but not that one. Has anyone managed to install drivers that will work for that printer on Ubuntu 14.04?

  • I downloaded "hplip-3.16.3.run" and I am not sure what to do with it. Please forgive my ignorance....lots of windows experience, not a lot of linux experience.

    The printer works from windows machines on the network but ubuntu does not even see it. I can ping the IP fine, but I assumed I couldn't see the printer because I don't have a driver installed for it.

    Ok, did some research and figure out what to do with a run file. I ran it, it asked me a bunch of questions for which I didn't have an answer, took defaults where ever I could and guessed at the rest, and I worked. thank you very much.

Just bought a HP envy 4520 and it works out of the box with CUPS. No driver installation was needed.



I just connected it to my wifi and added the printer using auto discover. Scanning is also working without any further configuration or installation.
