This method should work with all printers of the ULD driver family: - HP Color Laserjet 15x series - HP Color Laser MFP 17x Series - HP Laster 10x Series - HP Laserjet MFP M433 - HP Laserjet MFP M436 - HP LaserJet MFP M72625 72630 - HP Color Laser MFP 13x 30 131 134 135 135a ... series Under last linux versions, the ippusbxd software blocks the device from working, remove it: $ sudo apt remove ippusbxd First, download the drivers from the HP website: $ wget https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/MFP170/ULDLINUX_V1.00.39_00.12.zip or the page if url changed: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-laser-mfp-130-printer-series/24494378 if you don't see the driver, try changing the os to linux ubuntu. The decompact it, and run `./install.sh` in the uld folder. After the license agreement it asks you for a confirmation, whatever is written, type "`y`" and enter, localized replies won't work. Try running manually all scripts of `x86_64` or `i386` subfolder and check if there are missing libs and install them using the `apt` command (I'll leave you do it, duckduckgo is your friend :)). Now, copy files from the `x86_64` or `i386` folder (depending on your architecture) to the /usr/lib/cups/filter folder: $ sudo cp x86_64/* /usr/lib/cups/filter/ Now, reboot. Then, you can add the printer normally and it will be shown in the detected usb port. If the driver doesn't appear in the list, you can choose a ppd manually for your printer, they are in the uld/noarch/share/ppd folder. Another troubleshooting: if usb detection doesn't work, look at aa-status to se if cups is blocked. If yes, use aa-complain to move it to the complaint list (again, duckduckgo is your friend :)).
