HP OfficeJet 6700 with Ubuntu 20.04
by alex4buba from LinuxQuestions.org on (#576WZ)
1) This printer is conneted by network cable to my Modem / Router
2) It is done that way so that I can print to it from any device in the house that is logged into the same WiFi netwerk.
3) My Ubuntu 20.04 dekstop is connected to the same Modem / Router - by cable
4) I have no problems PRINTING to it
But, I can't SCAN, the printer doesn't "see" the desktop, nor do I see from the HP setup on the desktop that printer to scan from it.
In setup, it is confirmed the printer is published on the netwrork.
It seems, the desktop is missing some drivers maybe? what?
Must I connect the printer directly to the PC to resolve it, or is there another way?
Thanks
Alex
