However, the official installer still has very outdated Linux Distributions support! All the recent Ubuntu 26.04, Debian 13, Fedora 44, RHEL 10, and openSUSE 16 are NOT supported!
And, below are the currently supported Linux distributions:
- Ubuntu 10.04 ~ Ubuntu 24.04.
- Debian 6.0 ~ Debian 12.
- Linux Mint 22.x and earlier.
- Fedora 17 ~ Fedora 40.
- RHEL 5.0 ~ RHEL 9.1.
- openSUSE 12.2 ~ 15.5.
Get HPLIP 3.26.6
The source tarball as well as the official .run installer is available to download via the link below:
For supported Linux Distributions, simply download the “hplip-3.26.6.run” package, open Downloads folder in terminal, and run the commands below one by one to grant permission and start the installer:
chmod u+x hplip-3.26.6.run
./hplip-3.26.6.run
HPLIP 3.26.6 .run installer, sadly does not support Ubuntu 26.04
For recent Linux Distributions that are not supported, system default CUPS driver may be the better choice for newer HP printers support.
If you really want to install the driver, either build from source, wait your distribution package updates, or use third-party repositories, such as Ubuntu PPA.
