Hello, I am looking to take my household away from MS Windows and more towards a RHEL variant (my preference actually is ALMA). ALMA-10 has been released which is awesome because I am working with it on the initial release and not somewhere in the middle.
Anyway, I know that HPLIP exist, and supports (according to HP’s website) 3,424 print devices. Does anyone know if that software also openly supports the scanner features?
Also, because I want to work with ALMALinux-10, but I do not see a supported release for RHEL-10, who would I contact about them releasing HPLIP to support the newer OS? HP?
Is there support from anyone else for such occasions? Granted, device-vendor support is likely to be the best.
Depending on the printer, you may not even need HPLIP. I print (on a Brother MFC) just using airscan and the cups anywhere driver. I’m going to spam my own page here, Scanning and Printing from CLI. There’s a RH and clones section.
As for requesting support @pastalian gave you the HP answer but you could also request a package from EPEL. Requesting a new package in EPEL :: Fedora Docs
@pastalian thanks for the link to the details about the scanner. It gives me a little more faith in the Linux Community and HP equipment moving forward.
