UPDATE: For Ubuntu 12.04 it has become much easier to install the HP LaserJet M1132 MFP – use this guide instead if you have Ubuntu 12.04: LINK.
Start your terminal by pressing: CTRL+ALT+T
SKIP IF YOU ARE NOT 64 BIT USER
1. Setup 64 bit libraries for current user:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib64/
Make this permanent:
gedit ~/.bashrc
Add these two lines to the end of the file and save it:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Setup t4 bit libraries for root user:
gksudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf.d/lib64.conf
Add the following line to the file and save it:
/usr/lib64/
Now run this command to load the root libraries:
sudo ldconfig
CONTINUE HERE
Then follow this guide: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html
if a plugin is missing, then run (requires that your internet connection is working and that the hplib mirror is online):
sudo hp-plugin -g
You probably have to exit the installer to restart at some point, then run “hp-setup
” from the terminal when the computer has restarted.
DONE – gotta love Ubuntu – feel free to comment 🙂
Working in ten minutes, thanks a lot!
Thanks to finding this tutorial when I searched for “m1132 ubuntu”. Helped seal the bargain. Wow, great tutorial and not too scary even for a Linux n00b like me. Worked like a charm. Testprint – ok. Testscan 1200 dpi lineart with xsane – ok. Best part was, didn’t need to bother with any of the CD’s and what have yous that was attached.
good
this is wery good
Thanks a lot!
