Step 1

A. Open a terminal shell.

B. Update your apt repositories.

Enter this command:

su -c "apt-get update"

C. Install the required dependency packages.

For Debian 6.0x:

su -c "apt-get install --force-yes -y avahi-utils cups libcups2 libcups2-dev cups-bsd cups-client libcupsimage2 libcupsimage2-dev libdbus-1-dev g++ gs-esp libssl-dev libjpeg62-dev libsnmp-dev libc6 libtool libusb-1.0.0-dev make wget python-imaging policykit-1 policykit-1-gnome python-qt4 python-qt4-dbus python-dbus python-gobject python-dev python-notify python python-reportlab sane libsane-dev sane-utils xsane"

For Debian 7.0x in python2 environment:

su -c "apt-get install --force-yes -y avahi-utils cups libcups2 libcups2-dev cups-bsd cups-client libcupsimage2 libcupsimage2-dev libdbus-1-dev g++ ghostscript ghostscript-cups ghostscript-x libssl-dev libjpeg8-dev libsnmp-dev libc6 libtool libusb-1.0.0-dev make wget python-imaging policykit-1 policykit-1-gnome python-qt4 python-qt4-dbus python-dbus python-gobject python-dev python-notify python python-reportlab sane libsane-dev sane-utils xsane"

Step 2

A. Click here to Download the Regular Tarball

B. Go to the directory where you downloaded the HPLIP tarball.

Example:

cd ~/Downloads

C. Uncompress the tarball.

Enter this command:

tar xvf hplip-3.15.2.tar.gz

This will create a directory with the same name as the tarball file.

D. Change your working directory to the hplip-3.15.2 directory.

Example:

cd hplip-3.15.2

Step 4

A. This step configures the development environment and checks that your system is ready to install HPLIP.

For specific information on using ./configure and the different options

please go here

. Also reference your distro documentation and configuration for additional information on which tags are relevant.

Enter this command (select the appropriate command depending on your system configuration):

32 bit distro users (most users will use this command):

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-hpppddir=/usr/share/ppd/HP --enable-qt4 --enable-hpcups-install --enable-cups-drv-install --disable-cups-ppd-install --disable-hpijs-install --disable-foomatic-drv-install --disable-foomatic-ppd-install --disable-foomatic-rip-hplip-install --enable-fax-build --enable-dbus-build --enable-network-build --enable-scan-build --disable-policykit --disable-libusb01_build --disable-udev_sysfs_rules --enable-doc-build

64 bit distro users:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-hpppddir=/usr/share/ppd/HP --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-qt4 --enable-hpcups-install --enable-cups-drv-install --disable-cups-ppd-install --disable-hpijs-install --disable-foomatic-drv-install --disable-foomatic-ppd-install --disable-foomatic-rip-hplip-install --enable-fax-build --enable-dbus-build --enable-network-build --enable-scan-build --disable-policykit --disable-libusb01_build --disable-udev_sysfs_rules --enable-doc-build

Step 5

A. This step will compile the HPLIP source.

Important

You want to run make as a regular user, NOT as root.

Enter this command:

make

Step 6

A. This step will install HPLIP.

Enter this command:

su -c "make install"

What is a .Bin file? A .Bin file is an executable program.

Ok so you got a .Bin file in Linux and your wondering how to install them, here are the quick ways. Before we start make sure you have permission to run the .Bin file. Put these commands to make them work in your current system. Keep in mind that myprogram.bin is only an example, which you need to replace with the bin file name! The symbol ./ is not part of the file name, it is a terminal command that executes the .Bin!

Ubuntu

___________________________________________________________

sudo su

./myprogram.bin

___________________________________________________________

In Ubuntu its that simple! In Fedora its slightly diffrent. Here's how to run the .Bin in Fedora.

Fedora

___________________________________________________________

su

./myprogram.bin

___________________________________________________________

If you've used Fedora you know its a bit of a hassle to setup. Since its a bare-boned system it only comes with some limited applications. Yet to make it usable you need to jump from web site to web site to setup properly. If only we had a one click setup for Fedora...

Here's where Fedy comes in. Fedy lets you install multimedia codecs and additional software that Fedora doesn't want to ship, like mp3 support, Adobe Flash, Oracle Java etc., and much more with just a few clicks.

Now a days handheld devices offer assistant for your mobile device, which help users to do stuff easily and quickly, as you may know iOS has Siri (by Apple) and Android OS uses Google Now assistant (by Google) to facilitate its users. They are pretty much intelligent personal assistants and knowledge navigator which works as an application for their Operating systems.

Recoll is a tool which lets you search everywhere in your local machine. It does this by indexing all your files in the PC, it can do this on both internal and external storage!

But how is this useful? Well lets say you don't remember the file-name of a text file... but you do remember a key word inside the document. This application will search all your text files until it finds a match of the key word you remember. But its not limited to text files here is the full list.

So as you can see Recoll is a very important app for those how need an organized system.
