todays date: 11-22-21. HP Deskjet 2742 "all-in-one" printer.
now using linux lite 5.6,
i guess my new post was removed, thats ok. 8) .
now that i am using Linux Lite 5.6 64bit.
it will only print when its online, will not work if its offline, will not work when its plugged into a USB printer cord.
how ever, while still plugged into the USB cord, it will print a copy of what ever i put into the scanner while its offline.
simple scan and Xsane will see the scanner while the printer is online, but they are both buggy and cant engage the scanner fully, they act like its trying tho.
hplip version 3.20.3,
i know the USB cord works, because when its connected that way on windows, it does all. prints, scan, copies, with no problems.
and yes its listed as supported by HP for linux.
maybe i might try another linux flavor, so for now , on here , i am marking this "Unresolved" .............
