The 'chart' at hplipopensource dot kom/hplip-web/models/officejet/officejet_pro_8600.html - Summary of Available Features listing my printer's features that may not work with the Linux drivers (on hplipopensource dot kom ) for package hplip-3.16.11.run - is a bit confusing. The package you linked was what I found (thanks.). I apologize, but HP's (Linux) info on supported features is confusing. Do the major Linux distros actually have the same software available for Windows (like scanning, wireless network setup wizard) & printer drivers for most HP's?Įven latest Windows would only have basic HP drivers, if that - not scanning / OCR / photo printing software, etc.Īre most major distros about equal for supporting HP printers or providing software?Ĭourse, I only need Linux software & drivers for the model above.Ĭouple of follow up questions - for anyone that's recently installed HP's Linux drivers & software. At times, It was hard enough getting HP printer software for Windows. It also said, ' Chances are, your Linux computer already has the software it needs, as all major Linux distributions regularly integrate HP Linux Imaging and Printing (HPLIP) into their software releases.'

It just took me back to same screen to enter product name / model, where I started. When I went to HP's support site for this printer & selected Linux, it gave a msg ~' if you need printer software / drivers for Linux, we suggest you get it at another site. Support is ending, so switching to Linux.
