GNU/Linux Manjaro Installing Hplip Plugin Guide
Hi! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-step How to Install Hplip Plugin in Manjaro GNU/Linux Desktop.
Some HP Printers require Proprietary Software Technologies to allow full access to Printer Features and Performance.
Unfortunately, these Technologies cannot be open sourced, but to resolve this HP uses a binary Plug-in for these Printers.
So this Plug-in works in conjunction with our Linux Open Source Printing Software to improve the Printing experience for HP’s Linux Printing Customers.
See the Online Documentation to find: What Printers Need the Plugin?.
Especially relevant: Hplip and Hplip Plugin Versions must Match! And you are recommended first to follow instructions about Updating Hplip Software.
