I had this working easily in raspian, but for whatever reason, network changes, firewall, stupidity… I can’t seem to get my HP network printer to actually install. I keep getting an error and it claims it can’t find the PPD file when I never chose that option at all? It clearly sees the network printer already. I have 3 different choices as well.
what should I do? I am new to dietpi, but I am loving this OS!
No matter what I do it doesn’t work. Im going to just put this one on the back burner. I have other things I am trying to get to work in dietpi that are also proving problematic.
{EDIT} I ended up going back to raspbian and it worked without any problems whatsoever.
I guess there are packages available ootb on plain Raspbian, which we remove on our conversion into DietPi. Would be interesting to know which packages are missing on our side.
I guess just do a fresh install and only install ssh, and cups. I used openssh instead of dropbear also. Oh and I also had pihole installed too. If it still works for you at that point, then I have no idea.
Dietpi is awesome imo and I still use it for a presence device on a pi zero as well.
Let me know how it pans out if you end up giving it a go.
I tested with my Lexmark E332n, connected to my wifi router.
At first I could add it in cups but when I tried to print, it said “not found”.
With cups-browsed I saw, that it was constantly reconnecting. I changed the network cable and now it prints, at least rubbish. I think I chose the wrong driver so I only get quirky signs instead of the test page
