It finds the printer on the network, but the download is wrong or the checksum is wrong. Anybody has solution?

Re: HPlip

I can't help you directly with your question, but hplip doesn't have a driver for that printer and that's why it's trying to download one. The foomatic-db package in the repos does have a driver for that printer. My experience with the foomatic drivers for a different HP laser printer has been great.
