HP Envy 5032 Printer / Scanner not recognised by system

English Hardware

Hello, I just installed OpenSuse Leap 15.3 and I am having problems trying to install my network HP Envy 5032 Printer / Scanner.

I have tried various steps so far:

  • Installed hplip via Yast, which also installed a scanner driver too

  • firewalld is active:

systemctl status firewalld
● firewalld.service - firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service; enabled; vendor>
     Active: active (running) since Tue 2022-02-01 01:19:51 GMT; 14h ago
       Docs: man:firewalld(1)
   Main PID: 1187 (firewalld)
      Tasks: 3 (limit: 4915)
     CGroup: /system.slice/firewalld.service
             └─1187 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/sbin/firewalld --nofork --nopid
  • Printer info output
sudo lpinfo -v
[sudo] password for root:

network https

  • Running hp-setup, I chose the net option, and it gave an error:
sudo hp-setup -i

Could you please advise where I go from here?

I use the gui HP Device Manager, installed with hplip. It needs help finding a network printer, and you need to assign the printer a static IP address. Start HP Device Manager, click the green + button. In the Device Discovery window, click the Network radio button, then Show Advanced Options, then click the Manual Discovery box. Put the printer’s IP address in the field and click Next. That should find your network printer. Setup from there is straight forward.

Hi,
Follow these following steps. It will definitely help you.

Go to computer Settings>Devices>Printers and Scanners. Check for HP Envy 4500 printer icon. If icon not found, install the latest HP drivers on the computer. Now press the Enable button to enable scan to computer option.

Sometimes after an update I “lose” my HP Envy. It will have gotten an ip address on its own. Press the Network icon on its screen and see that address. When you try a network install, at the bottom of the screen is an option for Manual Discovery. Click that box and you will be able to enter the ip address. Its annoying to lose the printer but that is a fast way to get it back.
