HP Laser - hp-setup -i - warning: endless distro is not found in AUTH_TYPES

I have no understanding how this doesn’t work.

I installed Endless OS on my 2005 Packard Bell and could install the drivers with hp-setup -i without any problem. Now 1 day later trying to install it on my Wife’s HP Pavilion Laptop I get:

DOWNLOAD PLUGIN

Checking for network connection…
Downloading plug-in from:
Downloading plug-in: [\ ] 0% warning: endless distro is not found in AUTH_TYPES
error: Plugin download failed with error code = 8

error: file does not match its checksum. File may have been corrupted or altered
error: Failed to install Plugin.
error: The device you are trying to setup requires a binary plug-in. Some functionalities may not work as expected without plug-ins. Please run ‘hp-plugin’ as normal user to install plug-ins.Visit http://hplipopensource.com for more infomation.

and because of that I can not scan and that would be the out for Endless OS.

Anyone any ideas?

Try to download specific driver for your printer and install from local disk using…sudo hp-setup. https://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/

Something that would help us a lot to understand the problem would be this:

  1. Open the application called ‘Terminal’
  2. In this application run the command:

eos-diagnostics

  1. The above command will create a file with the information of your system (example: eos-diagnostic-160614_111731_UTC + 0100.txt); Send us this file so we can analyze and see a possible solution

eos-diagnostic-180301_103021_UTC-0600.txt (364.8 KB)

Okay, I hope this will help, can not understand why it isn’t working did use the USB stick on a different computer with different results. Let’s figure out what it is :wink:

Thanks

I tried that on Funtoo and never ever worked for me as HP never could find the ppd file, but thanks

I did this, any update??

Here is the Solution and some advice for Endless OS installs to avoid future pitfalls, like what is the root password etc.
