HP P1102w printer disappears on reboot - richard.mockler - 07-20-2018
I successfully installed my HP Laserjet P1102w printer using hplip, and it works great. However, each time that I reboot, the printer is gone and I must reinstall it. This did not happen when I was using Ubuntu. Any suggestions?
Thanks, mailmockler
I am editing my earlier post to explain my solution. I am not sure why, but when I initially installed this printer with hplip, I took the approach of setting it up as a Network printer. It installed fine, but upon rebooting, it had gone away. So, I changed my approach, and used hplip to install it as a wireless printer. I had to connect the printer to my computer with a printer cable, and when finished installing the printer, I was instructed to remove the cable and configure it. After I removed the cable I rebooted and the printer was immediately found and functioned normally. So, it looks now like the printer is properly defined and here to stay.
