I have HP LaserJet P1007 printer and running Trisquel 7.0 LTS. I want to setup printer.

I connected to printer but can't find/detect printer in System-Settings > Printers (gnome-control-center printers). On Ubuntu I used to setup my this printer by hp-setup But on Trisquel hp-setup also can't find my printer.

Here is my lsusb output which shows by printer:

$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 12d1:1436 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E173 3G Modem (modem-mode)
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 03f0:4817 Hewlett-Packard 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 093a:2510 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Optical Mouse
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

In which second line shows Hewlett-Packard

On the [http://www.h-node.org/printers/catalogue/en h-node printer site] I can't find my model.

Now, How can setup HP LaserJet P1007 on Trisquel 7.0?

I have installed hplip-3.14.10.run for HP LaserJet P1007 printer through http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install_wizard/index.html (by selecting Ubuntu 14.04 as Trisquel is not listed) and read installation procedure.
But getting Error for missing dependencies:

ENTER ROOT/SUPERUSER PASSWORD

OK


INSTALL MISSING REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES

error: Installation cannot continue without this dependency. Please manually install this dependency and re-run this installer.

And 'python-devel' is not available on http://packages.trisquel.info/ ; can I use 'python-dev' instead?

Unfortunately looks like that printer requires proprietary software to operate http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/plugin.html

The rules of this forum prohibit us from discussing such nasty things here https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/trisquel-community-guidelines
