There is a programme called VueScan that provides support for scanners: when I check their website, they support yours. TT-PACKARD it lists which HP scanners are supported by sane, the open-source software for scanners. Many folks praise HP and its linux support but it seems to be only for the printing side of things if you look here. it needs 3.14 so it is well covered with Mint 18.1 as it has 3.16 so you shouldn't need to install a newer version of hplip eries.html and it is listed as supported. So, can I not use my all in one device to it's full capacity? I can't scan?Īs you did, when I go to the hplip website and go to supported devices, and choose OTHER I find your printer. All they had to do was just answer one simple question, but refused because of policy. The third time, I was told that they couldn't answer my question because my printer was no longer under warranty and I'd have to pay $20 for help or buy another printer over the phone. The second time, the agent claimed he couldn't hear me. I called HP support to see if they could tell me if Mint 18 was compatible with my printer. However trying to install using linuxmint-18 version packages.' Then, for the heck of it, I tried installing an HP program for Mint 17.3 and that didn't work. It was found under 'other', however when I tried to install the software, I got the message, 'error: linuxmint-18.1 version is not supported, so all dependencies may not be installed.

index.html, my model was not found under it's printer type (ink jet all in one).

Test print works, but I need to download the software in order to scan. I'm currently running Linux Mint 18.1, Serena 64 bit on an Asus Aspire, Corei7 notebook attached to an HP Envy 5660 ink-jet printer.
