      Dear Antix Friends,

      I installed Antix 64 bit in Virtualbox to see if it works for me and it does and it also installs HPLIP nicely and can install my HP Laser Printer / Scanner fully functional.

      Also I installed the 32 Bit Version as I still have a 2 GB RAM laptop which allows only 32 Bit OSes and checked if i get HPLIP running and get my HP Printer installed.

      It seems that HPLIP / Toolbox, then gives the error: Can’t find any Network Printer

      Can anyone help?

      Thanks

        You can try, if you know the ip-adress of your printer

        hp-makeuri yourprinterIPaddress

        Then open

        system-config-printer

        choose add printer and enter the uri-adress

          adding the IP address manual worked, printer and scanner are working fine now :-)) Thank you so much.

          Can’t believe it worked, never had it working adding the IP address manually 😉
